Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Ive read lots of peoples revews. I have to wonder if some of the people have ever driven a modern 4x4. Because the Shogun sport is a pretty poor thing to drive. I can never get comfortable. Main problem nowhere to put my left foot. My knee rests agains the gearlever on long journeys which is uncomfortable. When towing its good. Keeping at 60 ish on motorways. However when its not towing its one of the most tiresome vehcles ive ever driven with the engine reving far too high when pressing on. If ever a vehicle was a candidate for overdrive or a 6th gear this would be it! Don even consider this car as a "luxury 4x4 its not its more like a comercial vehicle with leather seats! Fuel consumption below 60MPH is "ok" press on and its pretty dire. My 2 classic Range Rovers where far better drivers
What's it like to park?
Easy due to good visability
