Summary
What does this car say about you?
We lived in the sticks, so a 4x4 was a common sight. I think it says you want a solid off roader.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They like the look of it!
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes I would but in a diesel next time as running the petrol was a killer with an average 19mpg £40 petrol get you roughly 160 miles!
What are you likely to buy next?
A Saab 9 5 estate.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very easy to drive especially being automatic. Takes a little getting used to if you haven't driven a 4x4 which a high centre of gravity. Brakes were not that strong and you had to really push down on the brake peddle in an emergency.
What's it like to park?
Once you get used to the size, it is fairly easy to park with good visibility. You have to get used to the spare wheel sticking out a little on the back of the car and also the front bumper stands out a little on the front of the car.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The only thing that stopped working were the electric wing mirrors didn't adjust down but did in all other directions. Everything else worked fine.
What's most practical about your car?
Good road visibility. The rear glass tailgate window that opened seperate to the boot was handy. Easy to drive and use daily.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The mirrors folded in electically which was handy for us as the car was parked on the orad overnight.
