    They're woefully underpowered. even the improved 100hp engine takes 26 seconds to get to 60

    Friend has a double cab TD and it'll struggle to get to 85mph (the claimed top speed)

    Also see: Vauxhall Brava (all had the a 75 bhp 2.5 engine AFAIK)

    Don't know about reliability, the one I have (second hand) experience of seems unburstable.

    They are unbreakable really but I found they suffer from brutal turbo lag and the back doors open very shallow, quite easy to end up poking yourself in the eye!

    Bit underpowered but a mighty sturdy oul jeep, virtually unbreakable and super reliable

    Thanks for the replies
    Not to worried about top speed or acceleration more its reliability and towing ability
