Living with it
Reliability
Problems include: New exhaust system, new steering wheel peeled, repaired electrical fault which needed rewiring of ECU, driver seat needed re-conection, gearstick knob peeled and replaced. All seem to be running ok and no problems in last 6 months.
Image
Could do with some higher profile skirts larger tail gate but may draw attention to a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Comfort
Suede and cloth interior which hasn't worn in the 30 months I have owned it.
