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

[Guest77]

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.

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

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.

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 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 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.

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.

I agree.
It does what it says on the tin.

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.

(That's some painful sentence structure to read)

Of course they're in immaculate condition, they just ponce about on main roads and it's not surprising they reach over 150,000 miles. I've seen farm abused ford rangers see 200,000, it's nought amazing

the tyres make a big difference, most people struggle in the rain let alone snow.


snow tires are not expensive and you just swap them out till weather warms up, ive got uniroyal rain experts on mine and it sticks very well (unless im trying to slide it)

No dick head, thats land rovers and range rovers, the discovery is renown for issues, 75% of those on google are discovery problems, as I mentioned earlier all cars will get bad reviews, all cars, your trying to slate a car you have never owned or driven, It is like trying to communicate with a chimpanzee.

If that was aimed at me, what part of my post was bulldung?
Please be specific and direct.

I have, as you scroll through the pages you see lots of land rover problems mixed in there because land rover make Range Rover as well

Also, your insults are reinforcing the stereotype of range rover fans being passive aggressive :smile5:

i was at customers of mine on friday who had a new range rover sport which was about 80k worth.nice wheels.
its broken down 4 times in that space of time.
for that kind of loot you don't expect a car to break down at all.
my brother has a v8 sport which is also v nice but has had a few niggles with it.
plus the fact we look like like a couple of drug dealers when he takes me anywhere in it
i had a shot of a new long wheelbase defender at a job last month which reminded me of an 80s cortina it was that basic and heavy handed.
i think land rover/range rover need to look at their quality control more closely
