Hi ya

The mother in law has one and its fairly saucy on juice. I drove it a few times and found it a bit wallowy or unstable on country roads. I didnt think build quality was great either.

Landcruiser or a rav4 would be my choice. Is it a jeep you want?

The one i drove was diesel. My 3.0l audi was more economical. The reason they are cheaper is because the build quality and safety record isnt as good as the rivals.

My sister had a 2.0 petrol one from new - late (06)

I think she paid 32 or something mad like that for it new and she had hardly any mileage on it.

She sold it in May, so it was four years old. No one wanted to touch it. She ended up letting it go for 7 or 8 or something like that, so depreciation is huge.

She never had any issues of reliability with it, but it literally drank the fuel. She thought it was comfortable when she had it, but now its gone, she got a new Golf, she would agree with more or less what Sarasan says that it was a bit all over the place to drive, compared to the roadholding on the car.
