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

In their own words

I like its rugged appearance and excellent road clearance unlike most so-called off-roaders and all SUVs. Its basic inside and with the rear seats up has little carrying capacity but is excellent with the back seats removed (which is what I have done). In fact With the roof open its amazing what you can fit in - I have carried timber longer than the car itself and it will take tall boxy items that will not fit in a normal family car! I would strongly recommend this as a second, fun/utility car and, with the top down is (for me) a perfect motorbike substitute. Brilliant!

How reliable do you find the car?

In the 2+ years I have owned had zero problems. Starts 1st time every time in all weathers.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Actually exceeded expectations as I had read some dismal reports. Ok, its not the fastest acceleration but it gets me onto the motorway safely and will cruise at 70, although I wouldn`t like to go too far ( I use my Focus ST for that!) as its a bit noisy! Off road its amazing and very easy to change into 4WD.
