Summary
What does this car say about you?
Average family man with large taste who likes to off road now and then. Got it stuck off road once and had to be pulled out by a mates defender ( Oh the shame ) Fitted BF Goodrich tyres all round after that now she is unstoppable with comfort. I only miss the diff lock for serious mud but the extra power and every day reliability make up for it all the way.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They prefer it to the previous disco but some feel the shape is a little dated but once they have been a passenger they much prefer to landy!
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, only because they no longer make it and I want a newer car. Possibly consider a 05 Insignia auto with low milage at the right price.
What are you likely to buy next?
Top of the range Toyota Landcruiser Amazon if I can dip the wifes liquid gold account.
