Procta, a jeep is a bad comparison as a proper 4x4 lol. Totally agree with you, they're bloody horrible things. The problem with Landrovers imo is working on them, they're just a pig. My recommendation would be a hilux, but then i wouldn't buy a 4x4 unless purely for utility.
The massive backing and fan base is mostly down to national pride and rose-tinted sunglasses imo. Same goes for a lot of crap cars made in this country, i mean seriously, morris marinas?
At least most landrovers are a comfortable place to be and can be trusted to withstand light showers.
Ps, i'm very critical of everything (in case you hadn't noticed already
), please don't take it personally.
