    What does this car say about you?

    I don't like that side of it and almost can't wait for it to look like the family wagon it will become. e.g. bumped and bruised.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes, it does what it says on the tin.

    Type of dealer you bought from?

    Independent

    Did you buy this car new?

    No

    What price did you pay?

    £0

    When did you buy the car?

    January 2013

    Did you get a good deal and why?

    Compared to the price for Discovery's I discovered that the XS gave me the spec items that I wanted, leather and sat nav but didn't have all the other extras and so I got a newer car for my money.

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    What was the dealer like?

    Good and easier to deal with than most of the others. He gave me a good price for the car because he was going to sell my trade in himself rather than send it straight to auction.

  • Driving it

    3 out of 5 3.0

    What's it like to drive?

    It isn't like a the saloon I've got rid of obviously but it is smooth if a bit bouncy.

    What's it like to park?

    Fine, once used to the size the parking sensors do the rest.

  • Living with it

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    I have only had it a short time.

    What's most practical about your car?

    The turning circle. My drive is very narrow and tight to manoeuvre but the Land Rover really has little problem with that.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    It's just turned cold and with leather seats the heated front seats are a great item.
