    Value

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Not what you would call value for money.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Take out a mortgage for servicing at a LR dealership. They think you're a walking cash machine.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good driving position, need ear plugs.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Diesels just drone on and on, slow acceleration, high torque, hardly notice a trailer.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Plenty of warranty claims, sold it as soon as the extended warranty expired.

    It's all image and nothing else.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    OK, but it was very noisy, I had to use earplugs on long journeys or I ended up feeling punch drunk.

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Don't leave the sunroof open or the alarm will go off.

    1 out of 5 1.0

    You're only there to keep the dealership in profit.
