    My car

    It's an excellent car, though I have had a problem with a rattling noise at 2,500rpm. The dealer has changed the turbo, but to no avail. The dealer now wants to fit another turbo. I can't believe that this is the problem. Anyone else had this problem?

    My car

    This car is fantastic value for money. My wife has an expensive top-of-the-range Rav4 and this beats it in every department.

    Mine is actually a company car, this falls in the same range as pretty average Mondeos, Vectras and such like. It passed the biggest test with flying colours - admiring glances from parents and kids when I pick my 12-year-old up from school. The car has street cred too!

    It's not as economical as my Passat was, but much more fun to drive, loaded with kit and plenty of space. It has a really good driving position and the controls are light and precise. It hugs the road in 4x4 auto and feels very safe.

    I love it. I would recommend it over a Rav4 and Freedlander, both of which I have driven and researched. Mine has been trouble-free since I got it at the turn of the year.

    My car

    Simply the best car I have owned. Far, far, far better than my previous unreliable Landrover Freelander.

    My car

    This car has to be driven to be believed. I drive 1000 miles a week and can testify to the car's comfort, handling, performance, practicality, and running costs.

    For the cost of this car, the level and sophistication of the spec is amazing. The Birdview sat-nav is a pleasure to use. Handling with ESP is also greatly enhanced.

    As a lover of country sports, I take the car off-road most weekends, where it never embarrasses itself. The roof-mounted safari lights are very useful when driving off-road at night, however, I would prefer it if they could be locked on, rather than having to reset them each time full beam is turned off.

    I know several people who own one. None of them are disappointed.
