    I do really like these, if you can get away without the ground clearance then these have to be the roomiest cars on the market.
    I've got a mate who works for VAG and she loves the Yeti, used one of their pool cars to go to music festivals all through the summer, 4 adults, camping gear and all without a hitch! Sorry to hear you're changing Craig, you won't be short of offers to join in on runs!

    Paul, we're on our 3rd year of owning 2 different LR FL2's and we've had a helluva lot less problems with these cars than the mini's.

    MINIs are very poor for problems........

    You never keep them long enough woman
    Only problem I've had is two offside rear calipers after only 20k
