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