-
Economy
Value
Appalling value for money. Don't do it... you might live to regret it!
Costs
Remortgage your house now... you'll need to run this beast.

On the road
Driving
Very comfortable and easy to drive.
Performance
Pretty gutsy for its size / weight.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Zero stars because any stars imply that it remains on the road rather than in a garage for more than a week at a time.
Image
Losing its street cred now, especially as most acquaintances like to take the 'P' out of its unreliabiltiy and costs to date.
Comfort
Very spacious, light and airy, excellent views.
-
Security and Service
Security
If only someone would nick it I could get rid of the stinking heap!
Service
Good and courteous service from main dealers at a price. Smaller specilaists just love to fix them again and again and again and just love to take your money because you're a muppet enough to like 4x4s.
