  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Great on motorways except the steering feels way too light, but that's the japanese influence. All round disc brakes means in stops quickly. Always have the advantage of suprise over other drivers, most don't expect a rover to go over 60mph!

    What's it like to park?

    Well...its a big car, but I haven't hit anything yet! Light power steering is great in parking situations.
