Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great maneouvreability with a small turning circle, easy to handle, great traction in snowy conditions and very reliable. Only downside is it is not a flying machine on the motorways and there is a bit of cabin noise in the top gear. However a resilient, reliable 4 x 4 on general work commuting and trips out. A god send in snowy conditions also with a differential lock fitted as standard too.
What's it like to park?
Very easy. SX model has parking sensors fitted as standard and has a small turning circle, so is very easy to maneouvre into tight parking spaces.
