Cheers guys...
Duster certainly won't be anything close to the comforts of a freelander or as sturdy/tight on the road but it does the job. I drove a 2012 XS a wee while back and it seemed more stu ... |

| Aye well, that particular one was 500 miles from me, so 1000 miles to go and pick it up. Not impossible by any means but I wouldn't want to make the trip without having viewed it/driven it first. Anyw ... |

| This appears to have a bit more, although the terrain response buttons might just be for show? It is also listed as having hill descent control, although it would obviously be wise to have all specs c ... |
