25-30mpg. Main dealer labour costs are painful but not much goes wrong.

Driving
Surprisingly good handling for such a tall vehicle. Not bad off road either but selectable 4wd would be better.
Performance
Impressive, but for the size of the car with just a 2 litre engine, its brilliant.

Living with it
Reliability
Inspires confidence.
Image
Would score better but mine is "sparkle yellow metallic".

Seats good. Lots of room in cabin. Main problem is booming engine noise at 70-80mph.
