Excellent for what I want so far.
I have now driven 24,000 miles in this car. When I bought this car I wanted something at a reasonable price, 4x4 for farm fields, ok on the motorway for regular 350 mile round trips, comfortable and enjoyable to drive. It has fulfilled all my needs.
It has just had a recall for work to the rear subframe which surprised me after all this time. They had it 3 days and supplied a courtesy car, all free and no hassle.
I have read about high tyre wear, when I bought it I put Yokohama Geolanders on it (noting they are guarranteed for 50,000 miles in the US) so far I have done 24,000 miles on them and they still have 8mm all round on them, I have never swapped them round either but have been meticulous on correct pressures.
