Living with it
Reliability
I've been happy so far maybe all the faults were corrected before I became the owner.
Image
Certainly a big 4 x 4 and gets the looks.
Comfort
Much morer comfortable and spacious that basic Jeep Cherokee.Go for miles in comfort of well padded seats. Pity no space for left foot when not hitting a pedal.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser can be a bit of a pain for starting procedure.
Service
I service myself i.e. oil change/greasing. Have had some niggling oil leaks from parts of engine. Costly Jeep dealer repair to penny gasgits but still shows drip. Otherwise, so far so good.
