Welcome to drive the debate

Very good off road in muddy conditions, disc brakes all round, easy to drive city car, height adj. drivers seat, very good viz, well equipped, climate control effective. City steering switch.

Bumpy ride due to modified suspension, thirsty due to 4x4 drive train and extra weight.

It's a flawed little car but so willing I can forgive it - most of the time! I bought it for a very difficult off road track and it has never failed me in sometimes very bad conditions. On road it buzzes along at the speed limit on motorways, and is very easy to drive in town. I average 37mpg used hard, not very good for a 1.2 though. Probably the most annoying thing is the small fuel tank. I think the new Sp Ed diesel version improves on all the cons.
