What's it like?

Mechanic also suggested Isuzu MUX for a long term travel car with an unbustable (diesel) drivetrain. Anyone own one? Is it as uncomfortable as some private reviewers say?
Expensive to fix, parts are hard to get (accident repairs), steering rack hangs low and easy to damage when off road, also compared to a Prado underneath everything looks a bit weak.
