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

In their own words

Very high geared so difficult to drive very slowly, a much lower 1st gear would help for rough tracks. However quiet relaxed cruising. More than adequate power for easy overtaking. Exceptional traction on slippery surfaces, and very good ride on bumpy undulating roads. The ground clearance means no scraping of the underside on rough tracks and no building up of snow when it is deep. A good car for the Scottish Highlands. The interior space is quite good, the boot is fairly small but no surprise there. The reversing camera and short length make it very easy to reverse. The roof bar spacing easily suits carrying sea kayaks.

How reliable do you find the car?

Exhaust heat shield replaced and bonnet catch a bit sticky.
