I suppose there is one advantage living in Oz. In winter, overnight temps rarely go below 10C (at least where I live). We don't have to worry about frozen cars. Now in summer, if you park in the sun, you could fry an egg on the bonnet but that is a different issue. I do remember when I lived in...

In custom, you set the driving mode. This is what determines 2wd vs 4wd. Probably no different from Comfort -> Sport.

I just used a simple cover from the Oz equivalent of Halfords. It was their "premium" cover, but I wouldn't call it that. There are a few online ones that claim to be water/wind/snow/cyclone (ok, not the last one) proof, but were 10x the price of my simple cover. Just match the length of the...

Does the UK version use the same pirelli P zero tyres? Maybe that is a difference. Maybe temperature of the shocks and / or tyres could create a difference. It was about 30C in the rain Forrest. Somewhat hotter once we left it. There were no humpback bridge style bumps, but just a generally...

So we have had our little beastie over a month now and it has done several trips up the coast. Today, we took it to the mountains (ok hills by the rest of the worlds standards). First and foremost, either the Oz versions have updated suspension, or the journalist who reviewed the cyberster were...
