    My car

    Good car at the right price - ie under 30,000. I waited over a year for the diesel - would not consider any large 4x4 petrol.

    My car

    This is a very expensive car for what it is. I bought this car when it first came out and paid £38,000.

    It's very bouncy, it costs me nearly £60 per week in petrol and the car is very basic and needs a fortune of extras to make it special.

    Avoid it at all costs. You can buy something very special for the same money, if not less.

    My car

    A very strong sporty car.

    When I ordered the car I had no idea as what it looked like. When I took delivery I was disappointed with quality of the plastic in the dash. But after couple of drives I kind of settled with the fact overall performance and ride overturn this minor cosmetic ugliness!!

    Indeed it's worth every penny paid for it. It is an ideal SUV.
