On the road
Driving
Not bad, handles better than rivals.
Performance
Don't expect loads of power, very thirsty; 25-28mpg at best. Very noisy and under powered- beware of gearbox under towing, normally blows at 80.000. £300 for an exchange. Four-wheel-drive will stop working if you don't use it, £250 for a repair kit.

Reliability

Image
Plain and basic. Nobody will notice you in this.
Comfort
Comfortable to drive, but will struggle if you are tall.
