Economy
Value
SO MUCH CAR FOR SO LITTLE MONEY. SPEND £2000 MORE AND GET A FREELANDER IF YOU LIKE WASTING YOUR MONEY AND LISTENING TO THAT 1.8 WHINE.
Costs
50K SERVICE £400 PLUS-OTHER THAN THAT HAVE NOT SPENT A PENNY! DOES BETWEEN 250-320 TO THE TANK-AROUND £40 TO FILL IT UP

On the road
Driving
VERY CAR LIKE. GOOD AROUND TOWN AND MOTORWAY-4X4 LIKE AROUND CORNERS. NEVER HAVE I BEEN MORE SECURE IN THE HEAVY RAIN THAN IN THIS.
Performance
PULLS WELL FOR A 4X4-0-60 IS REASONABLE CAN SURPRISE A FAIR FEW BOY RACERS IN STANDARD CARS IN THE RAIN. NOT AD AT ALL FOR THE SIZE.

Living with it
Reliability
1 AND A HALF YEARS NEVER HAD A PROBLEM

IF YOU HAVE MONEY TO BURN BUY A MERC 320-OTHERWISE FOR £8K YOU CAN BUY SOMETHING SAFE TO CARRY THE FAMILY AROUND IN AND HAVE TONS OF ROOM FOR THE ENDLESS AMOUNTS OF STUFF A FAMILY CARRY AROUND-STILL LOOKS GOOD NOW TINTED WINDOWS.
Comfort
LIKE DRIVING AROUNG IN AN ARMCHAIR THERE AGAIN IT WAS DESIGNED FOR THE YANKS-NO SPORTS CAR THOUGH. REAR SEATS RECLINE AND THE FRONT CONVERT INTO 2 BEDS IF LAID DOWN!
