Practical, not fussed on being "cool". Confident driver.

They all like it, some didnt at first but have been converted. Am always cslled upon when something big needs moving.

August 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

I bought the car for an amazing price, about £2000 cheaper than the next cheapest I found. The onwner was moving aborad and needed a quick sale. The Milage was slightlky above average for the age, but still only 70,000.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed bigger car for dog and picking up animals feeds and coal.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Excelent. Doesnt feel as big as it is to drive, really smooth, pulls well. A bit noisy on first startup, but once warm is fine. Steering is weighty and precise, its sticks into corners and feels very stable, giving great confidence. Great veiw of the road ahead, although not as high up as you may think it is.

What's it like to park?

Really easy. Great visibilty all round. Good turning circle. A breeze to get into even the tightest spots.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing so far, apart from a seized caliper. Took me 15 minuted to fix myself whilst changing brake pads.

What's most practical about your car?

4x4 mode is very useful, the boot space is huge even wth the seats up, washable rear is excellent for dogs

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

4x4, sunroof, cruise control.
