Much better than the reviews suggest.

Hi bought this as I wanted a big 4x4 for use on building sites, plus seven seat for family flexibility. Done 6000 miles in three months and staring to really appreciate this vehicle.

I only paid £2400 so it was was cheap, had reasonable mileage at 95k, and had just had a major service done, and it’s been 100% reliable, reasonably economical (mid 30’s running around, 40 plus on the motorway), and it’s very comfortable. It’s also very practical, with lots of little cubby holes for phones, sunglasses etc, and has ample cup holders. The boot space is immense and very useable, with the fold down front passenger seat allowing even 3m long items to be transported.

The bad bits are that the radio is pretty poor, and lack of phone connectivity is disappointing, and the gear change is r******. Other than that it’s a comfortable, practical and economical vehicle which does a good job.
