Summary
What does this car say about you?
No idea.

It's a chunky, cheeky little chappie with lots of character. Looks like a proper 4x4, not a bloated tonka toy like some other small 4x4's do. Very capable offroad too.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No longer made and I have one of the latest ones, so, no.

Don't know yet.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Surprisingly good. Lots of reviews complain about the on road lack of refinement, but having driven it from Yorkshire to Sussex, I have no complaints. Comfortable and quiet, cruises well at 70 mph. Gear change is light and smooth, no rattles. It's no hot hatch but doesn't pretend to be. Feels like a 4x4 should do.
What's it like to park?
Dead easy. Very compact exterior dimensions. Large windows so good visibility.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No.
What's most practical about your car?
Easy access to front seats. High driving position. Mine is the 3 door version, so very limited boot space unless the rear seats are folded.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Has all the usual accessories - A/C, leather,etc.
