WILF 48,446 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Wilf ive driven one of those Audi Q7 Quattro things they,re plenty quick enough and have every gadget youd want....there basically a big lazy v8 that drives like an a8.......i found they was a horrible driving position though,im a big lad so need a bit of room i couldnt imagine a long motorway journey in one.....i think theres about half a ton difference between them and RR so prob not much quicker if you take that off. Funny you say that mate, my wife didnt like the seating in the Audi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

forest of dean redneck 11,862 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 If you are really talking about off road, then the best thing I ever drove was a series 3 ex military Land Rover with skinny military wheels on it, second to none off road and simple to operate.........Winkhound will attemp going places in a Defender that will have you on the valium in two minutes flat, but I still think the S3 would do it better. That said, my pal L200 with decent tyres aint too sore and the same could be said for the Fourtrac skinny tyres 750 x 16s? in my opinion its not a landrover unless you can take it completely apart with couple of spanners an a hammer. i think they went down hill when they stopped using the 300 tdi engine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lab 10,979 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 LR are needing to wake up and smell the coffee. There lagging behind now and most folk are going for the cheaper option of L200, Hilux, Navara for on and off road use. The freelander is pants of road, the ranger rover and disco if you want a family car plus work horse are a fecking fortune and if you go point blank for the defender for work its still got basic problems like its had for years...(leaky doors, disgraceful washer and window wiper system, no standard radio ) and its not cheap either.... Although i loved my Navara to drive when it packed in and Nissans customer service was nothing short of shambloic i decided there and then i'd never have a Nissan again (will make exception for GTR.. ) and opted for the L200 Warrior.....its stylish, can be used for work and pleasure and most of all with the mud tyres on it goes pretty much everywhere a standard defender would go.....
