  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    The 3 litre diesel is just so smooth and nice to drive. pulls well, even at the lower HP compared with the newer engine. the SE suspension definitely better than the sport for soaking up bumps but the low profile runflats do their best to ruin it and can crash over pot holes.

    What's it like to park?

    Its quite large but visibility good and rear sensors helps.
