Faults:

Very little has gone wrong as it has been serviced every 6 months, thus extending its life. Needed a new thermostat and recently new brake pads.

General Comments:

This car has a fantastic amount of room - I have shifted timber, freezers and furniture in it.

For a 2.5L V6 it accelerates very well, but could do with a suspension upgrade to improve handling and perhaps better brakes if your budget allows.

Interior is tasteful and practical.

Exterior looks good, but the factory alloys need to be changed to really set it off.

My car is red, but beware of this color oxidizing (as mine has begun to).

Faults:

-Car shudders at intermittent periods, usually at 60-80km/h

-Air con not working when purchased (but fixed myself at later date)

General Comments:

The only real positives for this car is the decent boot space, corner handling, and exterior looks, however this is where the good points end.

The fuel economy was abysmal, I'm not going to do the maths, but a 60ltr tank got me about 300ks. This may not have been a problem if this car was a rocket ship, but it was not. Either I had a dud car or the 2.4ltr engine is just not up to pulling a reasonably large vehicle with 4WD around, as it was slower than most 1.6ltr engined vehicles I have driven.

The shudder which developed in the rear of the car at low speeds was a concern and the main reason I disposed of the car, it sounded like it was either some sort of 4WD failure or automatic transmission issue, regardless it would have been expensive to fix.

The steering was also reasonably heavy.

Bought a Turbo Airtrek as a replacement which uses less gas and is 3 times as fast. Don't buy a Legnum unless its offered to you dirt cheap.

Faults:

The gear change is slow when cold, and the 5000 mile service is needed.

The only thing that has gone wrong with the car in the 8 months of owning it so far is the wiper blades needing replacement!

General Comments:

The car is very quick with excellent traction. Wet roads can be a bit more hazardous though.

The active Y.A.W. works very well with little or no wheel spin, even when driving it hard.

The dash lights up when the key is turned, which looks very nice and classy.

Being an estate, there is plenty of boot space, also lots of leg room in the front and back.
