Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Ponderous and difficult in town situations given its poor turning circle but on long runs its an admirable cruiser. Handles like a car when compared to an L322 Range Rover and the re-mapping give it extra welly for overtaking.
What's it like to park?
Very poor in multi-stories despite front and rear parking sensors and the reversing camera. Light steering though and its height helps in manoeuvring so cant complain.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Bits of trim a bit loose but in the last 9 months its been faultless which is surprising given the agricultural build quality.
What's most practical about your car?
Great for a family so when lugging around all their gear its been really good. The drop down DVD player in the back helps in that respect though!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Heated seats and ability of the sat-nav to play mp3s.
