discovery or jeep which is best

(1/3) > >>

i am not actually asking for an opinion (but someone will give one)
was in the pub last night and we started discussing 4x4's
as  i have a disco i explained the reasoning behind buying it

i still had the 4x4 bug after owning an old series 2 years ago
so looked at a number of 4x4's liked the shogun and the disco
did lots of research and went for a disco on the grounds of:
if it went wrong i could afford to repair it
so far the repairs have been affordable and i thoroughly enjoy the disco shoguns are still nice as for off road ability the disco is good mines let down by the driver

my friend said the jeep was better  as it doesn't wallow in corners as the centre of gravity isn't as high as the disco
i personally have had no probs with corners in the disco but i am a steady driver (anybody else had problems getting a disco round a corner) he also stated the land rover had lost their way in introducing coil sprung land rovers as they weren't aiming for the right market  :shock:

he also explained to me how good the jeep was off road compared to the disco
now i am no expert on jeeps ( i like the looks of the older ones) as i have never driven one and i know there are some jeep owners on here and Suzuki and shogun and lada and (well get my point)
but the few off roading days i have been to seem to be dominated by the green oval
so where did my friend get his knowledge from

WELL I HAVENT GOT A CLUE AS IT TURNS OUT HE HAS NEVER DRIVEN A DISCO DEFENDER OR A BLOODY JEEP

i raise my glass to the uninformed and  pmsl  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

now in my opinion the only week link in the disco is the idiot behind the wheel OOPS that's me  :rolleyes:

well if you meet me at a mud club event and you have a different 4x4 to mine let me have a seat in yours as i think ALL 4x4's are cool and you can have a chance to join Mr useless getting stuck (some thing which i am good at)   :doh: :doh:

McGuire:
 Which is best??? Depends on your point of view!! :D

marjan:
Yep Green Oval will always be cheaper to repair but you will be repairing it every weekend !. I speak from experience as I have had a Defender 90 which I got sick of repairing and I now have a Shogun that I have done 1 repair on (fuel pump) in 11 months. I also enjoy driving home in comfort after a days laning or playing.
