Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Its the first 4 x 4 I've owned but as I expected it doesn't handle as well as a car. Steering is fairly precise and enough power for me. Leather seats don't help in corners as people slide about.
What's it like to park?
I don't do much street parking but its OK as long as you remember that the spare wheel adds another 12 inches on the back.
