Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A lot of car and kit for the money (especially second-hand).

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Servicing - Ouch! (60k service was better part of £700!); Petrol ouch too, but you wouldn't buy a 4-litre UV if you cared!

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very good road manners for a big off-roader. Less roll than I expected and surprisingly nimble - just a bit of vibration if you breach a ton. Feels smaller than it is, too.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    It';s a big lump but it shifts - lag isn''t bad, change up is smooth but change down can be a bit brash with some lag.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    It was four years old when I bought it and I've had it for a year, but not a single problem.

    Image

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Pretty solid image but more of them about these days. Face-lift model is prettier and rarer but not as purposeful.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Loads of space everywhere and a well-thought-out interior. Seats comfortable and supportive, stereo more than adequate and decent room in the back even.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No problems with alarm or immobiliser so far.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Apart from the cost (main dealer) service has been better than from any other manufacturer / dealer I"ve used in the past.
