it's better than you'd expect when you first look at it, but it's not going to win any races. unless it's snowy or icy. it's great in town and cruises easilly at 70-80 mph

nothing of note has gone wrong despite giving it quite a lot of off-road abuse. a couple of oil seals, that's it

What's most practical about your car?

the sliding rear dooes are superb, the tailgate that keeps you dry when loading the shopping or getting changed for surfing, the superb 4X4 system (i can go places in the wet tthat a landrover freelander can't in the dry) it's totaly built for practicality.
