    What does this car say about you?

    I can't afford a Toyota Land Cruiser.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    When it works, it does what I need it to - perfectly. I don't believe there is a competitor that comes close to it, in many ways. However, its reliability leaves a lot to be desired.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    If I could afford it, I'd buy a Toyota Land Cruiser.

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Since my last report, I've had a number of intermittent faults - none of which has been found or fixed. 1) Engine wouldn't shut off. 2) Engine cut-out. 3) Engine lost power. Each of these problems has caused a lot of aggravation and lost time. No one can find the problem. The car runs perfectly between faults and fixes itself after each of them. I have lost a lot of confidence in the vehicle - especially as I have a 25 ft caravan to tow with it and haven't been able to make much use of it because of these faults. As a result, I have to downgrade the star rating I originally gave it.
