  • Economy

    Value

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Don't think much of value because of the running costs. Other than that its not too bad.

    Costs

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Parts cost too much. Spending a lot on petrol only getting about 22 - 25 mpg with no engine problems. A lot for a 1.6.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A brilliant drive off road suspension not too hard. On the motorway a little bit noisy but no real complaints.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Enough power for on and off road. Off-road capability is very good. Right up there with Land Rover I think.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Everything was breaking only had it for 2 months and spent at least £300 fixing it.
