Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Don't let the 'real 4x4' image fool you. These things are a mechanics holiday fund.

    Costs

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Servicing is not cheap, add in the peer mpg and constant failures and it would be better badged as a freefaller.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Smooth enough, but lacks any real urgency and kickdown from the auto box is erratic.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Sluggish, considering the engine size.

  • Living with it

    Image

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good image in the eyes of those that haven't oned one!

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Driver's seat won't height adjust but if you're under 6' this should not be a problem.
