    I have full service history including every part bought for the car please note the following. Main dealers prices silly on servicings and they seem to add on lots of extra parts when it comes to the servicing. I take mine to an independant L/R garage.

    Ok. Do get the desire to get into a non-4x4 car though!

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Poor for modern day roads. Ok at steady 70 on motorways. However, I feel very underpowered, especially on acceleration.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Odd electrical problem, constant squeek from top pulley. The dreaded white rust.

  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems

    Engine

    Underpowered, dreadful on take-off, out of date with modern road problems.

    Other

    I love the style and the load capacity, however feel that it would be better suited in terms of performance taking it back 10 - 15 years. With the amount of trafic on the road and unfortunately having to make a quick take-off from junctions, is to slow.

    Used
