yeah, was a big folower of the G4 challenge but it does seem to me like it was more a corporate thing, cause even a freelander was kitted to go there and i personally jua a freelander is not the very best SUV. <div><br><div>
That aside, legroom is not an issue for me. :-)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 3, 2011 at 12:31 PM, Garr Patronas <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:garr.patronas@gmail.com">garr.patronas@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

Still, no &quot;serious&quot; outdoor 4x4 is build with comfort in mind. Comfort is for city runners eg Freelander, Rangerover Sport.<br>
You may have to compromise a little more on the comfort factor (say, more stop-&amp;-stretch sessions along the way?)<br>That aside, google &quot;land rover g4 challenge&quot;.<br><br>&lt;disclaimer&gt;land/range rover fanboy&lt;/disclaimer&gt;<div>

Landrover 110 and for that matter any defender is out, if you intend to go long distance the ride comfort (or NOTT) is just too important an issue. <div><br></div><div>the Range rover classics are ok, except i cant get one on diesel, for something that does about 7km to the liter, ill be spending more on the fuel than i would on the car. </div>


<div><br></div><div>Reason i am soo confused on the land cruiser vs the patrol are: </div><div><br></div><div>1: Cause jeremy clarkson says so (Landcruiser). </div><div>2: Cause some biker chaps chose a patrol on their trans continental trip called long way down (from UK to cape town) as their burdens of beast. </div>


<div><br></div><div>Im not soo concerned about resale value though, too bad about that but from experience the good cars dont have a good resale value (Merc BMW... Subaru ...e.t.c ). </div><div><div></div><div>

Collins,<br>Landcruiser. Or Landrover. Or RangeRover Classic (pre-1980 to mid 80&#39;s)<br>Even a 1970&#39;s LandRover 88 will survive just about anywhere.<br>(I have no experience with Patrols, so can&#39;t say about them)<br>

Happy new year skunks... <div><br></div><div>generally speaking, how do these models compare in terms of service costs, endurance, parts and resale value in the Kenyan market. How hard is it to get on your feet if you say, burn the clutch in Merti, or burst your gasket in doldol... </div>
