jevansio Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I drive a 2008 l200 every day for work there quite good and comfy but they lack feel in the corners. The navara is the better choice and has around 20 more hp and handles a lot better imo. That's good info mate, we ain't too bothered about corners, it will be pretty much a workhorse that I can fit large Supra bits in Is that why you train so hard mate lol , I just keep her drunk Taste is selective but I think they look good, and you can get nice shiny chrome bull and steps for them The sportage is a better looking kia, not as capable a 4x4 but nice. linky they can look good styled (wheels aside), this is same colour as mine but without nice roof. Thats the bars I've ordered tho. I will run one past her, I do appreciate you get a lot for your money with the Kia, but the L200 does look very funky, will dig out a pic of one we fancy No worries mate, i have to go to sort my passport out in durham tomorrow at 10.00 am but i will be free anytime over the weekend after that. You want to meet up after the passport thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony tt Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 It does need bigger wheels though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Met Jon today for a test drive in his L200, big thanks for that mate. On reflection I'm not sure if the L200 is for us. You needed to turn the steering wheel A LOT to turn corners, and the interior (althought nice) was maybe a bit to plasticy. The hunt continues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon5698 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 No worries mate, i would have a look at the navara if i were you. But unless you go for the range rover like you were thinking, i think pretty much all of the pickups interiors will be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip we stared looking at RRs last night, I love them and don't think they can be beaten for what we want from it, just need LPGing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon5698 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Lol so that means you will be going for the nice supercharged petrol one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 My sister has the rr v8 vogue its a really nice jeep mate just a 2004 but its a thirsty fu##er lpg conversion is a must id say. Theres a great sound off it when you plant the shoe its hard to drive it sensibly haha. I hear what your saying about the plastic interiors in the l200 i think everything in that range navara included and hi-lux is the same mate. RR interior is lovely with electric everything if the rr is an option then i would for sure get one. If i had the cash i would mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I wouldn't touch a Range Rover myself, heard so many horror stories. Three people I know had them, all had problems. One had a 5yr old one and had endless electrical problems, head gasket twice, heater matrix, suspension. One mate got a sport brand new, after a week of owning it his wife came home from shopping and said that the door wouldn't close properly, he suggested she had shut the seatbelt in it so went and had a look. On opening the door to investigate it fell at an angle and then dropped off ! Turns out the hinges had failed, he got the dealer to pick it up for a full refund. The other mate got the Vogue, a year old with all the extras, nice looking and great toys, at about 18 mnths old the dif went, he was chuffed it was under warranty, would have cost £3k if it wasn't. So, with these and also the other negatives on the net I personally will stay well clear of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
