Land Rover LR2
I'm ready to buy a certified SUV for the wifey+winter days.
I have narrowed it down to 2008/09 LR2, loaded. or a new Audi Q5(spending a lot more, wifey prefers this one, but likes the LR2's much better visibility).
Certainly i would like to purchase the LR2 as it is cheaper and seems more "manly" haha. I like its boxy styling and its Terrain Response.
However, I, like probably all of you, have heard of the numerous quality issues Land Rover has had. I heard that the newer ones are better, and the LR2 especially, has pretty decent quality and craftsmanship(could be false).
So, what would you do?
1. LR2, save the extra money in case of repairs(about 9K btw...)
2. Q5, better car, worth the extra money.
A few things to consider:
1. I dont need on road handling excellence(wife primary driver).
2. I NEED great traction in snow.
3. Lowest insurance cost please.
4. Cheaper to maintain @ dealership
5. Don't need many electro-techno gadgets(as wife prolly won't operate).
Thanks!
