Oh no !!!! Where do I begin ??? They are dire. The worst build quality in the class, even the Koreans are built better, terrible plastic interiors, even worse fuel consumption, and to be honest, not all that great off road.

They are "trail rated" , which may mean something in the States, but in Africa they do not survive. They are OK on gravel roads, but not in mud or loose stuff. And terrible on the road....

If you really want a 4x4 that you can live with on a daily basis, Disco or Freelander would be the way to go, or look at the Koreans, they are now doing some excellent off-roaders.
