Faults:

The car has been an absolute dream to own.

The drivers side power window died, but even then it didn't give up the ghost. It just wound the window up slower.

The battery died on us but I wouldn't call that a fault of the vehicle. More so the places we took it.

Coil springs have started to show some sag but once again it is a result of the terrain we cross.

General Comments:

Couldn't speak more highly of it!

It is very capable off road on weekends and doubles as the family shopping trolley during the week.

After being sucked into the normal spiel of nothing comparing to a Land-cruiser, we initially wouldn't touch one with a barge pole but were convinced by one dealer to take one for a test drive.

Thank god we did. The driving comfort, fuel economy, purchase price and off road handling are second to none and certainly meet if not exceed those of the Land-cruiser.

We have been so impressed with the GQ Patrol that we will be holding onto it for as long as she keeps on going, and when the day finally comes to buy another, the Patrol will be the only contender.
