    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not bad, handles better than rivals.

    Performance

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Don't expect loads of power, very thirsty; 25-28mpg at best. Very noisy and under powered- beware of gearbox under towing, normally blows at 80.000. £300 for an exchange. Four-wheel-drive will stop working if you don't use it, £250 for a repair kit.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Will go all day, the same engine as black cabs; it never stops working.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Comfortable to drive, but will struggle if you are tall.
