Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Better damped than I was expecting coming from more 4x4 orientated cars like the Isuzu Trooper and Toyota Hilux. Definitely very car like. Almost too damped in roll as I find it a bit harsh on rough roads. A bit fragile off-road, but I can live with that.
What's it like to park?
Nothing special for a car of its size. It has rear sensors and good mirrors, so its fine.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
In only 5000 miles so far nothing has gone wrong.
What's most practical about your car?
Great boot size and comfy seats.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Good standard stereo which works well with USB stick of MP3s once you figure out the best way to organise things. Great that the roof bars will take 100kg as I use them a lot.
