So, knowing what you know, would you buy it again?

No,

5 hour return trip to nearest agent.

Too many warranty issues to count, car is 2 years old and spent about 4-5 months at the agent in that time.

Agent is difficult to deal with, although I am starting to get some positive cadence. Skills of INEOS trained techs are questionable. Vehicle always leaves with additional issues caused by techs.

Comms and support from INEOS for early adopters are severely lacking.

Australian Fan Boi's from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane where local agents are supportive and in close proximity will of course disagree.
I couldn't cope with a perfect vehicle and the best dealership if it was a 5 hour round trip. Don't know if you had or were promised a local one, mine is 1hr round trip and I've had a fair few return trips but can live with the distance and I did expect problems, so my love of the vehicle has not been harmed.
I have had a 2 trips to a dealer that was near 5hr round trip to get some things done the local one wasn't offering. I saw it more as traveling to specialist which is acceptable but not for regular work and small jobs, I would have got rid of it i think.
 
As I have previously posted I have a grenadier since last May. I use it daily towing heavy trailers and there is nothing else like it available for sale in Ireland.
In Europe, for the last 10-15 years, most 4x4s have become more SUV than true 4x4s. I have 30,000 km of hard towing up since last May. The grenadier is so stable and it is truly effortless to drive. (once you get used to the steering, which I wouldn't change now)
It is that good that I have ordered another one from our amazing dealer Orange Works Automotive.
It is a 2 seater commercial in Scottish White. We are due to collect it towards the end of next week.
I am aware that there may be an issue at some point with the front CV. As I have a 5 year warranty which will see me to well over 200,000km, this doesn't concern me. Usually CV's make a racket before failing. Should one fail, I am sure Ineos will have sorted out the issue. In the big picture, it is a very small potential fault in an otherwise amazing work vehicle.
