LandWind X7 - A Chinese Copy of the Range Rover Evoque ?

[Guest77]

I was at a shoot last weekend where somebody had one where the battery would die if you left the door open for 5 minutes. Prior to that I had a customer who had one where the wheel fell off on the motorway and one of the guys I go kayaking with said he's done about £3000 so far trying to get the suspension to work. And that's just local knowledge, it's not like there is some international infamy for it

Nope, If I want something good offroad, will not break if I sneeze on it and has a greater aura of class to it...I'll buy another Suzuki SJ

I happen to know several lads who have 2003-2004 range rovers with 120-150,000 on the clock, they are immaculate and they have never had any issues, they are quality motors, your talking bollox suggesting they are carp, total bollox.

Must just be coincidence then that it scores as the most problematic vehicle on the JD power survey then

Load of Bollox, there is no doubt some cars in all ranges get problems, However regarding Range Rovers you will see lots around 20 years old for sale in immaculate condition and still priced at 2-3k, full service history and lots of very proud owners, I can google any car and say the word problem next to it and it will come up with discruntled owners, for example shoguns, the great car, it is renown for being a rough ride and bad road handling, I used to own one for 5 years and it was a great vehicle, but read about them lol, also read about any car you like, you will see good and bad comments regarding them all, do you honestly think a range rover which is at the top end of the market is total carp? your talking bollox mate.

Not in the same league as the Nissan xtrail which is priced around the same, I wouldn't pi$$ on a suzuki unless it had 2 wheels lol, (range rovers are carp pmsl)

actually i agree somewhat

the old ones are built like tanks, the new ones can be a pile of ****e with many electrical problems, its a lucky draw some people are unlucky and get a bad one

I am not reffering to the new models pal as they have not been out long enough yet for reviews really and are out of most of us/s league lol, I think it depends on whether you get a diesel or petrol engine as well, obviously running costs are huge with a car like a 4.4 ltr petrol engine and some of the newer cars have 500 a year road tax, but I would still be vary happy to own one as most range rover owners no doubt are, saying all that, if I had actually 80k to spend, I wouldn't own one of them, I would love one haha but would go for a Mercedes or beamer.

 

[Guest77]

lOOK AT THIS FOR 5K LOL, yeah it looks like a piece of carp alright which won't last long haha, only 13 years old now

Must admit, that If I were to buy an off road vehicle it would have to be a Land Rover.
For road use a BMW.

would have to be an old land rover defender, nothing to go wrong on them

 

[Deleted member 26818]

Never had much to do with the Defenders, just series I and II.

 

[Guest77]

A friend of mine who is an alarm engineer just bought a defender, it was 36k, he also had a huge roof rack fitted on it, looks nice, but very basic inside, they are not designed for looks are they? they really are the ultimate off road car, I can think of none better, a brilliant 4x4.

 

[Rockingit]

I used to have a Series 2a, extra long wheel base, wired for 240v (ex RM radio wagon). She was beautiful. Only died when I killed her out greenlaning one day (twisted the bulkhead = MOT failure).

I once had a Nissan Micra which kept losing power and eventually conking out. The garage said the only way to keep it going was to keep taking it back to the garage and filling it up with petrol, but that ended up costing a fortune!
I'll never buy another Japanese car after that.

 

[Besoeker]

The Range rover is one of the best cars on the market, If I had 80k I would own one.

Fine?
I think it is just a status symbol for most.
It's huge size, cost, and immense thirst for the motion lotion make it an impractical proposition for most people. How useful is that four wheel drive on the school run? Or on the motorway.....or the supermarket car park.......even if you can find a space to squeeze into....

And, as for the "girly" Evoque version - it just looks wrong. Produce a big vehicle then rob space with that silly looking sloping roof makes even less sense.

I wondered when you would pop up, I smelt Bullsh$t from the kitchen so logged back on.
