Confidence in running a 4x4 in town despite their acquired image. However this one does have the odd run on the green stuff but nothing too severe.

Like it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Maybe the Freelander 2 unless a decent RR comes along.
What are you likely to buy next?
Maybe another Range Rover but not the one from before!!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Safe, secure and surprisingly quick. Just like a hippo at full charge!
What's it like to park?
Easy enough if you know how. Nice square ends drop straight down so judging the distance is easy. The high position provides a good view in any case.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Fuel pump a bit noisy but quite common and the air conditioning can be weak.
What's most practical about your car?
Reliability and space and actually quite economical for its shape.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Single door opening at first press of the remote. Safer in towns for waiting a traffic lights, etc. if the driver is alone.
