Driving
Feels safe, nice ride, but seats a little small, window switches in a silly place.
Performance
A bit underpowered, but okay for an 1800cc petrol - should have made a 2500cc diesel

Living with it
Reliability
Big question mark on this issue, but never let me down.
Image
Looks good but again not in the same class as other Land Rovers such as the Disco, Defender, etc. Bit of a toy compared to others
Comfort
Seats a bit high and this restricts head room getting in and out (watch your head). In general good although only used on short trips.

Security and Service
Security
Standard alarm is fine.
Service
Main dealer too expensive, therefore, used quality specialist independent
