Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Had this car for about a year, I was warned about its reliability but I ignored the advice. I then began to regret my decision over the next few months as wheel bearings and bushes went at regular intervals, followed by front discs and pads and ultimately the air compressor went as well. The first six months was very expensive. The second six months have been trouble free which has redressed tha balance somewhat.
What's most practical about your car?
Sheer size and go anywhere ability.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
All terrain response.
