Mike Costello drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Particularly great front seats
- Punchy, efficient diesel; tows well
- Reasonable value and servicing costs
Misses
- Styling elements all form, no function
- Can't match Ranger's V6, full-time 4x4
- Pulling down the sunvisor knocks the rear-view mirror out of alignment
