    Drive; Land Rover Discovery 4 v Toyota Prado

    Saw this on Fairfax's Drive website;
    http://smh.drive.com.au/new-car-comparison/land-rover-discovery-4-v-toyota-prado-20130419-2i49c.html

    Admittedly the Playdo has a long-range tank (doubt that it's std), but how can you compare them off-road without actually driving on some rough-stuff, then declare one the winner purely on reputed reliability (yeah, as if Toyotas don't break or hasn't had any recalls lately!?!)?

    Yep Playdoe has LR tank standard. Given the dealer couldn't get the new disco working to show me I have no doubt to its questionable reliability.

        Pretty bizarre since the website is sponsored by LR. Maybe the writer wanted to get sacked, and decided to go out Costanza style??
        NOW: 2009 Land Rover Discovery 3 SE - I'm working on it..

        WAS: '94 NJ 3L manual - ARB bullbar, IPF spotties, 2" lift, OME shocks, 31" BFG A/T. 384k and no more, RIP old girl
