i know they are british, and maybe that's important for some people . . .
we rented a range rover over a weekend, and were highly impressed by the gps
(audio, with a british accent!), and the comfort. but - it gets really
horrible gas mileage - like 10 mpg!!! and i think it likes premium, but i'm
not sure. i think it sat up too high, but i like my low slung sports cars .
. .
later that week my wife spoke to some people in her office who had bought
one, or who know someone who had bought one, or knew someone who knew
someone . . . anyway, the concensus was that they are very expensive to get
fixed and break a lot.
just my 2 c - my daily driver is a 2000 honda accord which i bought last
year with 80k miles . . . paid cash . . .
73 cbb
72 tr6
73 Chevy Cheyenne C-10 (also gets 10mpg!!!!)
63 Buick Electra 225
