  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Great fun, it has plenty of power (a bit of lag) and the ride is about right - purists wont like it but then don't buy an SUV. For a decent sized car it can be thrown around and the 6 speed auto box makes it a dream to drive in traffic.

    What's it like to park?

    Cameras, beepers, big mirrors = no problem.

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    No

    What's most practical about your car?

    It doesn't have a huge boot - but its big enough. It doesn't have low profiles so I don't have to worry about potholes and kerbs. It has a high driving position which is good but doesn't feel like an RX which is a sofa on wheels.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Adaptive cruise control - astounding and the LED headlamps are like driving in daylight.
