Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It is lovely to drive.. can be a bit bouncy on uneven roads but on the whole very smooth .. pulls well ... it is not going to win a race but it gets up to speed quite well and maintains good constant speed.
What's it like to park?
Brilliantly easy to park .. i can park it anywhere ... in fact i find it easier to park the jeep than i did my renault clio and ford fiesta.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Being an older car i have an issue with the oil pressure switch that turns the dash check gauge light on . i cannot locate a new pressure switch so keep a good eye on the oil level ... it is not a major problem.
What's most practical about your car?
The space in the boot and even more space when the back seats are folded down... can get 5 bales in the back easily ...
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
I love the way i can adjust the seats to exactly how i am comfortable ... also good for an elderly aunt who cannot mobilse well .... it is a big car but drives really well and is very easy to park.
