On the road
Driving
Predictable understeer and bodyroll, but solid and synapse-numbing feedback make staying awake at the wheel a new in-car game.
Performance
Fast enough to get me a speeding ticket, but no powerhouse even in sport(?) mode... What sport - chess?

Reliability
It doesn't let me down (you've no idea how difficult it is to admit that).
Image
About as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit - no image at all.
Comfort
Driver's seat broke (ouch), otherwise generally uncomfortable after 60 miles and bloody painful after 120...

Security and Service
Security
It has an alarm (beep beep beep).
Service
Lloyd Rover in Carlisle are good at taking money and bad at servicing and repairing Rovers.
