Nice car/4x4 a bit costly at main dealer.

Learn how to drive it and it's not too bad.

On the road
Driving
For how large it is, it's not bad, but you have to remind yourself it's not a car when going around corners.
Performance
Lively. Good engine.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Shouldn't have any problems if looked after.
Image
Losing its appeal to me. A little bit day by day, but not too bad. Does turn heads when I wash it (or have it washed).
Comfort
Not bad, but I don't like the manual gearbox - wished I'd got auto, as manual is too clonky.
-
Security and Service
Security
It's not bad, but remember all security is the same accross the range so if someone can do one, they can do them all like most if not all manufactured security systems. If worried, fit a transponder.
Service
Not to good. Their service costs are a joke if you take into account what parts they want to change - £200+ and refused to change spark plugs.
