I think you would really really have to need them to make it worthwhile. They look very vulnerable to water and crud due to where they need to be fitted so unless they are extremely well made (and probably serviced/lubed etc yearly) id expect them to be very prone to seizing up.
But someone might say they are fine, and if you need them, then you need them etc.Disco 3: Lotus Elise S1: Ferguson T20: Audi A2

The standard, fixed, steps are a lot more useful than the dainty deployable ones though - from keeping crud off the the sides of the car, making it near impossible for ordinary cars to ding your doors in car parks to being much more practical for roof loading and even giving somewhere for people to stand, while hanging on the roof rails, when giving them a lift out of large amounts of runny sheep poo (had to do that recently!! )2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2

I tried a Velar with them, a useless feature to be honest. Fixed side steps are cheaper, do a better job and work without fail.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green
