Get something with proper torque then, not that girly POS diesel in those things - unless its the new V8 diesel they have less torque than a modern 1.9TDi

The land cruiser amazon is a gutsy yoke, and better off road, and bigger.

He isnt? :shock:

As for needing a car for towing, you would need something a hell of a size to require one of those, unless you need to go cross country get a RWD estate instead.

287 lb/ft through 4x4 wouldnt pull the skin off a sh*t.

A remapped fabia Vrs makes more than that!

like i said the TD6 produces more torque than the old V8 i had and that had more than enough to do what i needed

pah no, it offers a touch more power.. from a bigger engine.. so no surprises!

I dont like the look, or the mechanical stuff, prefer a button and a light to a lever on the console.

The interior looks cheap and dated IMO, so no, its the modern luxury from the range rover for me.

I dont know what landcruiser youve been looking at, but they certainly arent dated - they look better inside with the full options pack than any land rover.  The late eighties and early nineties ones do look a bit 80s though.

What mechanical stuff? Theyre far, far more advanced than the land rovers, plus they can go off road not just up a muddy path.

At the end of the day though beauty is in the eye of the footballers wife....
