Any one own the above? just wondered what they are like to live with. I dont have a farm so its just for me and the family

Heavy on the diesel. Cheap to service, bad turning circle. Has a balancer belt as well as a timing belt head ache to change. Good off road!

ive got a warrior and had an animal, both double cab
they aint bad but back seats are small
look cool
not cheap to run, uses as much fuel as my m3
smokey, even tho they are fine, both mine did it from new
bit plasticky inside
the worst turning circle of anything ive driven
harsh ride, due to being able to carry 1 tonne in the boot. if you put 3 bags of sand in the back they are a bit better, it dampens the rear shocks a bit.
get 1 thats chipped.

nice to live with but they are a comercial vehicle at the end of the day, if i wanted something for me and the kids and didnt need the space out back id buy a big car, like a 5 series.

Also huge amounts of pulling power compared to other 4 x 4 out there. Gear changes can be a little hit and miss if you try and change too quick, but as Stu said it is a commercial vehicle and that it does very well.

Thanks for the info guys.

I have a VW Touran at the mo so I am expecting the fuel and tax to go up! They do look cool as! which is the main reason for getting/wanting one.

Still can't make my mind up?

I got 19mpg on mine. It went back after 6months.

Not sure if you have kids, the rear bench just made mine throw up.

spent more time cleaning it than going off road.

Hey ho, lesson learned.

[mikey_r5gtt]

Yeah got 2! both under 3. I was expecting 20mpg? I get more in my 328! But we don't really go far enough for fuel to become an issue. maybe a few 100 mile trips once in a while. I think im just tying to justify it to myself now
