It's just a Land Rover thing!
I drive a 200Tdi Discovery on a daily basis but when I jump into the girlfriends Megane Sport Coupe its feels like I'm dragging ass along the floor! Ok, maybe my ass gets dragged along at a fair old rate of knots but you just can't beat a Landie! I get a much better view of the road and and I can take it down any old rocky road without a worry of grounding out or getting stuck!
You can keep your Astra's and BMW's, I'd rather have a beat up old Landie anyday! Pop the bonnet and an engine stares back at you. Pop a BMW bonnet and all you'll find is a "Big old piece of plastic" trim and a plug socket for the lap-top!
Land Rover! The best 4x4xfar!
