As a purely off road vehicle on a Farm or in the Military I think they belong there and are quite competent in that role.

As a day to day road vehicle I think they are noisy with a dreadful ride & steering. I have never owned one but driven several over the years - I have never felt an urge to own one.

The wipers seem to be a joke with very basic seating to boot, a work mate had one previously owned by the Queen Mother - it was only driven at Sandringham or somewhere similar it was an W reg or thereabouts with only 7k miles on the clock. Despite this he spent a fortune on the drive train, you needed a calendar to measure the 0-60 time, the radio at full belt was inaudible at 50 mph !!
