I dont really know what to say. All i can say is that from my experience landrovers have always been better. The only decent Suzukis i have seen were the SJ's and even half of them were moddified a great deal and certainly not in standard form.

I will bow to your knowledge but will just say that i would really like to see a "normal" not 20 year old or heavilly modded suzuki that is good off road.

If it exists i would probably buy it as the build quality and price would no doubt be better than Land Rover.

Also didn't I read some where that landrover carefully studied the Vitara before building the Freelander? I don't want to start a Landy v Suzuki slagging match - I own a Jimny and A Disco and regularly go off roaging with all makes and models - but did find your Fake off roader comment a bit too close.
 I agree with stuvy and crazymacs comments though.  :clap:

The were looking at the Toyota RAV 4 Not the Vitara.

 Land-Rover Vs Suzuki
 Depends on conditions what is better than what, how modified, how good the driver the Tyres suitability for the conditions many more factors(muds don't normally work well in sand).

mike142sl:
Don't forget Top Gears face off between the New Range Rover and the Fiat Panda. The Fiat got out of the quarry well enough and was only a couple of seconds behind, and that was down to not having a long enough wheelbase for one particular ridge.

We all choose our vehicles for diferent reasons - then go around believing they are the best.

I drive a Land Rover so everyone who doesn't must be wrong  8-[

glaggs:
In fairness Boddle I think Landrover looked at all the existing 'soft roaders' befor begining the freelander project.

My final comment - 'different tools for different jobs. I wouldn't want to travell 500 miles for a camping hoiliday with the dog and family in the Jimny, but I also wouldn't try and negotiate the ruts and trees of Tong in the Disco and not expect to end up stuck or worse. I enjoy both vehicles for different reasons, and I'm greatful to have the choice as to what I drive and when.

Range Rover Blues:
I'm getting quite alarmed at what I'm reading here, fitting ATs on the front because they brake better when towing :shock:  ever heard of a jack-knife :?


M/T are slightly bigger because they have a deeper tread, anyone donew the maths though, it's not a a massive amount (unless the M/T are remoulds) but it's enough.  LR recomend that all 4 tyres are the same and are replaced in sets.  Why do you think they said that?  bit of space left in the manual?
