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

Economy
Value
It was a good buy on the forecourt 'til the head took over the heart.
Costs
Perhaps I'm tight, but it was costing me £40 per 300 miles and 200 of those were motorway on average and everthing had to be Land Rover to keep its value!

On the road
Driving
Excellent around town and stable on motorways. Lots of tyre noise though.
Performance
VERY poor uphill on A38 to Mansfield. Struggled to hold 70mph with only me and half tank of fuel, you could feel it struggle when loaded with kids.

Living with it
Reliability
Tyre wear, central locking problems and sunroof leaked.
Image
Neigbours turned to green eyed monsters.
Comfort
6'2" just doesn't fit, even with sunroof. Couldn't see top of instrument panel.

Security
Alarm didn't go off, even when I jumped up and down on rear tyre!
Service
Expensive. They wanted £70 ph to tell me if I needed air con gas, yet it was only £54 for a re-gas work that out!
