Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

The biggest thing against this car is the road tax. £535 a year (for the automatic version, just over £300 for the manual) is a lot of money. I've got a bad knee, so I plumped for the auto. Mileage is a little poor too. For the money though, it's a lovely car to travel in. This is the third one we've had (2 XS's and a Titan). My wife is disabled, but can travel well because of the comfort that this car affords. It does roll a little in bends though. It was voted tow car of the year at one point. Check the rear quadrants and rear doors for signs of rust, especially above the wheel arches.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

I love the automatic 4x4 system on this car. It's normally driven by the rear wheels, but will quickly go into 4 wheel drive if it finds things slippery.
