Considering this Duster...

[Turn7]

As a replacement for current daily.

Really wanted to go for a Freelander 2, but potential repair bills scared me.

Will be used for 40 mile daily commute and regular weekend trips to clay grounds.

I tend to look after my daily mechanically well, and not get to upset about the exterior after a few Tesco dings etc.

What are these like to live with, and will a 6-4 chap be comfortable in one of a couple of hours?

Parts and servicing cant be to dear I wouldnt expect ?

Plan to keep it until it or I die.....

This one catches my eye..

They're okay, not great. So it'll do an okay job just not a great job. Solid VFM though.

On the scale of 'adequate > Luxury' it's towards the adequate end as you'd expect.


Suggest you try one to see how comfy it is.

I've got practically the same car.

Very good for the money. Check that Car play is wireless, it was deleted as an option around June 22 due to the chip shortage.

Headlights can go pop and require either a new one or specialist repair.

Thermostats can leak on the 1.3. 5-6 years seems to the point where they could start leaking.

There's really not much else that goes wrong. The extreme trim is just the black wheels and bits of coloured trim from memory. Prestige is the same spec. The only option was a full size spare, available on 2WD models.

Any questions fire away, I've done nearly 50k in mine.

Seats are not the best but you will fit. I find myself wriggling around after a few hours but that said I've done 2000 miles over the last few days down to Montenegro.

Cheers, off to test drive today…
