In their own words

It's great off road, it cruises very comfortably. With stacks of room inside it's been outstanding for regular trips to Scotland. It also tows extremely well, towing a boat trailer of 1.5 Tonne load it's effortless and I can stow my bike inside the back. It's brilliant when it's raining hard and spray on the motorway makes visibility tricky in an ordinary car. It's relaxing in poor conditions a) because you can see more over the spray and b) the car feels so sure-footed. The panoramic roof is great, so much light in the rear it takes away any feeling of claustrophobia in the back seats. ....Oh and tyres last a long time. Shortcomings: It can be reluctant to accelerate after coasting towards a junction as there is significant turbo lag or slow auto gear change. It can be overcome by use of the gear paddles or sport setting but it's something to be aware of. If you buy it as a 7 seater you would be disappointed by the lack of space in the fold out seats. It is a roomy 5 seater though with good width across the back as well as good leg room.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Not only great off road, it cruises very comfortably. With stacks of room inside it's been outstanding for regular trips to Scotland. It also tows extremely well, towing a boat trailer of 1.5 Tonne load it's effortless and I can stow my bike inside the back.
