Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Lovely slick 6-speed gearbox that just falls into gear. Good low down torque and no need to rev it hard. It get buffeted by the wind a bit on motorways, but then high vehicles do. The speedo is about 8mph optimistic and it has so far returned between 33 - 35 mpg.
What's it like to park?
It's easy to park, with a good turning circle for a 4x4

Heated seats warm up the cold leather quickly in winter.
