Good spec let down by badly laid out controls, clunky software and road handling like a 1970’s Trabant. Divorce is an expensive business my friend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was last in work there were 5 Crosslands in the car park, including mine. Car of choice for mediocre academics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One sold it after a year as he hated it. The other neighbours has had a new gearbox fitted and there was a fault with the airbags. He still has it but like my other nighbour hates it. And they are made in China. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All car’s colours should be somewhere on the greyscale imho. Darker the better for me but I appreciate some may prefer something lighter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
