Not bad points at the end considering other reviews from other Articles.

 Considering the other articles that have not been that positive, I must say a refreshing , honest overview. Any one know the track they were on?

I agree with Spider 1V, comments I thought were fair to the vehicle unlike the crap the" three stoogies" would come up with(From the Beeb).

Cheers,

Pretty fair I thought.  Tiff was a bit harsh - I thought he warmed to it more.  Lets face it, if the car was cheaper there would be many more and less desirable as a result?  There are plenty (sadly not me) with the money to buy these as a toy, or even a working vehicle.  Maybe the boxy shell is getting dated, but that's also the appeal of the G.  Rear passenger comfort is seriously lacking and the RangeRover scores more for luxury.  The G is still quality, exclusivity and utility.
