Not your usual courtesy car (unless you drive a Land Rover)
« on: 21 November 2011, 09:56 »
Took my Mazda 6 to the dealers for a service, strange place as they sell and service Land Rovers too........... usually get a smallish, cr@ppy courtesy car but this time I got:



Was quite happy about it until I drove it...  Such a woman's car! Everything is sooooooo over assisted.

Probably would have been more fun to be honest.

Exactly.... Very over assisted steering and at speed felt horrid.  Brakes, again over assisted, slight touch and it plants its nose into the ground.  Interior, cheap as you like, dated displays and wobbly button heaven.  Also felt like there was a lot of play in the drivetrain.  Gear selection almost verging on French in operation.

TD4 motor seemed OK... At least they've binned the god awful 1800 petrol.

Take one round a Land Rover Experience site. You'll soon change your tune. They're fantastic machines and the interior whilst not amazing compares well with most brands including VW.

What part of a Land Rover is girly exactly?

The Freelander part.

The bit with no low box.

The bit with carpets.

That's interesting as I was able to get everywhere the Disco4 went when I drove one off road, quite a challenging route too!
