Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A lot of car and image for the price. Quality exudes inside and out.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    As with most 4x4s, not economical. Dealer servicing is pricey, but very good.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Quite noisy at speed. Rolls on corners, but probably no more than other 4x4s. Comfortable at 60mph, but no more.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    1.8 engine too small. Loses some 'feel' at 70mph+. Not taken off-road, as basic Landrover seems much better suited to this.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No problems in 2 years/16,000 miles.

    5 out of 5 5.0

    By far the best in its class - something British-made to be proud of!

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Good seats, very spacious.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very good. Option to just open driver's door should be universally adopted. On-road presence keeps pushy drivers at bay.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Excellent service, but at a price.

  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems

    Engine

    None, but I'd have a diesel next time.
