In their own words

Like all German cars everything is an extra, just because it says AMG does not mean you get all the what I would call standard extras on a car of this breeding. For example Heated seats extra, folding mirrors extra, LED headlights extra, terrain control extra, no heated windscreen. Saying that, this one had a Pan roof (You guessed it extra), shame it did not have folding mirrors LED headlights and the electric folding towbar. I had a reversing camera fitted as the the rear sensors are so quiet you cannot hear them (Another known failing) Its a great drive, however you can expect if you do 10000 a year to putting a new set of tyres on every year. It also performs well in the snow, going through drifts and deep snow even though the (you guessed it) extra tuneability options on the 4WD train and suspension was not on this model My previous car was a Range Rover Sport HSE 2007 and it had everything as standard this did not. But the drive was better, perhaps not as capable off road but still capable enough. Gearbox with the flappy paddles is great and controls are easy. MPG is a let down a very thirsty car averaging about 25MPG. So reliable but not as goody laden as a Range Rover of older spec. Prefer this as a driver, but the standard luxuries are just not there unless you are lucky to pick one up with them.
