FIRST REPORT
WHY WE'RE RUNNING IT
To see if this humble but capable seven-seater is slick enough in day-to-day use
SECOND OPINION
I'm looking forward to borrowing the Jogger from Luc, not least to find out what the ride is like on those tiny steelies (don't be fooled by the plastic covers!). It may be ruggedly attractive, versatile and cheap, but if this car can't waft, I'm not really interested. RL
As a photographer (and not in any official way a writer), I tend to leave the undercooked and overblown opinions on cars to our team of road testers. After all, it's what they exist to do. They possess a collective experience that you won't find anywhere else, so if you need to know about the transient handling of a Mazda MX-5 or the steering adjustability in a Toyota Aygo, they're usually able to enlighten you.
However, when it comes to Tardisrivalling esoterica that doesn't get much of the limelight but does generate cultish followings, usually by virtue of versatility and low-key personality, I have an edge: I understand these cars, having used them often, and I like them a lot.
