    Excellent value for money.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very car like to drive, excellent driving position, very precise and ABS is excellent.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Acceleration would put most 4X4s to shame. Will do 100mph and more; excellent to tow and great torque.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    As with my Trooper very little goes wrong. Two batteries ensure first time starting.

    Not a BMW, but let's be reliastic, cuts a dash at the gymkhana and the hunt and looks great at the restaurant and school gate.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Leather seats with arm rests are swell, air conditioning and heated mirrors great. Loads of space and up the tyres to 255/16 and the pressure down to 29/30psi and it drives like a rolls.
