Does what it says on the tin
It may not be a hit in the glamour parade but it is a very competent 4x4 providing low ratio and diff lock for when the going requires it. It is easy to drive very reliable and cheap to service and insure, my premium last year was £186 covering my wife and daughter as well. Average fuel consumption on a long run is circa 38 mpg although locally here in Devon it drops to about 33mpg on short hilly runs. I bought it for towing my caravan following the very wet winter and muddy sites and it does this without drama The diesel engine is not the quietest but I don't find it obtrusive, it could do with a 6th gear. Would I buy another, yes without doubt.
