    Range rovers are hardly offroad vehicles anymore. The Defender was the last truly offroad capable model but the latest iteration is just another soccer mom van for the moderately wealthy. My boss has one and it truly is a sad departure from the brands past.

        Then you definitely don’t need 4wd. A front wheel drive performs perfectly well on snowy roads, awd if you’re in an area with particularly nasty winters. But anyone who says they need a 4wd suv/truck because of snowy roads is either a shit driver or just plain full of it.

      Notoriously unreliable as well.
      Lots of them in Hertford and Ware (where I live and work) and completely pointless.

      N.B. Those of you outside the UK, look up Hertford or Ware UK on mapping system of your choice. Not exactly the Scottish Highlands is it?
