Advantages: Cheap,good load carrier, good looking, good for towing
Disadvantages: Price deterioration, bad press, Can be thirsty

This vehicle in my opinion is very much criticised by the motoring press and to be honest I have to disagree.

BIG MISTAKE! this one has two small oval windows at the sides, but none of them open. I suppose thats a plus when you've got small children in it. the sun roof is at the back which is daft. because I always forget to close it,the front seats have to be adjusted every time you get in. there's ...
