Economy

No one would ever accuse these cars of being good value.
Costs
13mpg, £75 to fill, nearly all services costing between £500-£800. This braking, that breaking... what do you think?

On the road
Driving
I love driving this car. It's not the best 4x4 on the road, but it's good.
Performance
Surprisingly quick bearing in mind it's bulk. Keep it in sport mode and try not to visualise drainpipes pouring petrol in to each of those cylinders!

Living with it
Reliability
Manufactured to the same standard as an Austin Maestro. The production line must be sniggering as these things roll of the line! Leaking diffs, dodgy electrics, sump seal, alarm problems etc etc.
Image
Good and bad. Drug dealer or land owner, you choose they way you want to go on spec. These cars have road prescence.
Comfort
They are very comfotable, especially for tall drivers.

Security and Service
Security
I am guessing it is. It has been broken into a few times and the little devils went through the boot glass... expensive.
Service
Generally good until the insult their dealer will give when you want to part exchange it. These cars hemorage value, I would not buy one again unless some other sucker had taken the depreciation hit!
