    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Light steering, very good ride on smooth roads, a bit bumpy on potholed roads as with all off-road vehicles.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Fast - about 0-60mph in 12sec - faster than a Freelander! very able off-road despite what Parkers say - has limited slip differential and low ratio gearbox unlike some other makes and a very good ground clearance, a very sturdy chassis and a sump guard.

  • Living with it

    Reliability
