Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very enjoyable on country roads, off road, and last year was invaluable in the snow on numerous occasions, leaving almost all other vehicles left in the snow, put general grabber AT's on prior to winter, in a word brilliant. Motorway driving can be somewhat labored the engine starts to show it's agricultural side!! It still does not put me off. Can be interesting in the wet...caution required on wet roundabouts when accelerating , or take off from junctions in the wet....can quite easily be facing in the other direction if not careful, can control but somewhat boat like, keeps things interesting....BEWARE!!
What's it like to park?
Like any other vehicle when you get used to it's size, power steering very good.
