Anyone own or driven one? Looks like a nice mpv/4x4 cross. Any opinions?
Yes, we had a beautiful 03 one a few years ago. Big mistake, selling it. Should have kept it.
Anyhoo, apart from normal service/wear and tear items, check that the EGR has been upgraded to the new type. The early one can fail, with catastrophic results. It's a straightforward thing to do, though, so don't let that out you off.
Comfy, but quite low geared, it's not thst light on juice, and isn't a car for tearing down the motorway in.
Rear door opening is a bit odd: hinged on one side.
Any link to the car - wonder if it's our old one ? 03 G xxxx. Met Blue, full leather interior.Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

As regards juice, any idea what mpg you were getting and what type of roads was it driven on?
Did you ever take it off road or drive in snow?
Was it a diesel and how much was tax? Thanks for info btw

Indeed, not my old one.
General mixture of national route and R roads, 25 mile commute, and got about 35mpg IIRC. That's driving at about 55-60 mph.
They only came in 2.0 petrol an 1.9 diesel, ours was diesel. Tax is 640 IIRC.
Took it off road into green fields, and it's grand, but its no Landcruiser ! I never had snow to test it on, but I suspect it would be good.
We loved the comfort and driving position. Compared to, say a RAV4 at the time, the RAV was a noisy, nasty tin can.Ode To The Motorist

35mpg for a diesel is horrendous isn't it?
