Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Superb, a wolf in sheep's clothing when it comes to power.
What's it like to park?
Would have like the front parking sensors, but the rear work fine and it is a very manoeuvrable 4x4 in tight spaces.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Only an ABS sensor on one oft he wheels.
What's most practical about your car?
Its luxury at a budget price with all the power on tap when needed. I've had a top of the range LPG fitted (PRINS VSI) and this 4x4 now returns a healthy 24 MPG around town and 30+ on longer trips with no loss of power. Being an 06 plate it missed the new tax bracket and only costs around the £230 mark per year to tax.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
TipTronics Gear Shift is second to none.
