Santana PS10

<< < (2/2)

Range Rover Blues:
Saw an advert for then recently, 'do you need to tow 3.5 tonnes' etc. etc. then buy on of these, well I don't need a Spanish import to do that!

Santana have often introduced improvements well before Solihull, take for example the rear door/spare wheel arrangement, but the current model is not really my taste, it looks too plasticy.

Yebbut, maybe you don't *need* a Spanish import, but if you can save a wodge of cash and get a vehicle that's pretty similar to a 110 but with what some view as a better engine, then it can't be too bad.

I think the big difference is going to be the leaf springs.  The rest seems to be largely cosmetic, which comes down to personal preference.  But the Yanks run plenty of big 4x4s on leafs - I think the Chevy Tahoe still runs on leafs.

Everybody keeps moaning about how Land Rover are moving towards ever more complicated vehicles which go wrong all the time and can't be bodged around by the enthusiast.  Er, isn't there some sort of link here?

I suppose it's a matter or preference, you do get a lot of new car for your money and that engine has a good reputation, so if it's a workhorse you're after who cares what it looks like, but for a family car (bear in mind we own a Rangie) and for off-roading I'd rather be in a coiler, I don't think ther;es much to choose reliability wise between leaves and coils but coils just do the job better.
