"Briljant"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing.

General comments?

A very fine 4x4. I hear people complain about fuel-consumption, but I am very pleased with it. I just went on holiday in Italy and has to tow an folding caravan. The fuel-consumption was very low, just 8 litteres on 100km.

Also the comfort is very good, for a 5 year old car. Nothing is squawking or rattling, no noise of wind (soft-top).

The disign is perfectly, the only convertible for 5 people with enough room for holiday stuff. I also used to own a Jeep Wrangler, but the fuel-consumption cost me a arm and a leg.

Petrol-cost in Holland are very expensive, 1.50$ a liter.

Up to now its the best car I ever owned.

I find it hard to believe that a petrol engine that has to pull a car that weights almost 1,5 ton, (not charged) and that has permanent 4x4 only 8l/100km consumes, while pulling a caravan.

Fuel costs are in the Netherlands not that high as said (1,50$).

I think over there "a folding caravan" is like a pop-up camper. I could be wrong, but I've never seen a folding minivan...lol.

I agree with the comments about the engine size it maybe underpowered for pulling caravans and going off road, but... and hes the big, but the VAST number of 4x4 cars now never see a caravan or go off road so if you do want the 4x4 experience without the massive fuel cost of other " better" V6`s and 3.0lt it's an ideal compromise.
