Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Straight line fine. Reasonable power. I don't feel completely secure on fast corners however. Off road excellent.

No problems. Good visability and not too big.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Manufacturers recall to change steering ball joint. Display showing "hood open" when it was well banged shut. All fixed same day.
What's most practical about your car?
Motorway cruise at 78mph (below booking speed) all day long in armchair comfort - and I've had two Range Rovers. Not quite the same of course!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
New sat nav excellent. No map only arrows. 6 CD player - seems only a few people take this option. Negotiate it in. They are trying to shift Jeeps like mad.
