    Worlds best 4WD

    The contenders...
    Nissan Pathfinder [the new, USA looking model]
    Hyundai Terracan
    Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Nissan Patrol
    Misubishi Pajaro
    Toyota LC/Prado
    Kia Sorento
    LandRover Discovery 3
    LandRover Defender 110
    Santana PS10

    The Points
    82/100
    74/100
    70/100
    63/100
    59/100
    54/100
    53/100
    47/100
    43/100
    37/100

    FYI... it was up to the manufacturer's whether or not they supplied their vehicles with Mud Tyres or not.

    The tests were...
    Ramp Over - for axle articulation
    Side Slope before sliding sideways - the max was 40 degrees
    Hill Climb up a muddly slope
    Approach Angle
    Departure Angle
    Ramp Breakover
    Ground Clearance - not in degrees but in practical world of logs before getting grounded
    Mud Run
    Obstacle Course - round a 4x4 track
    Turning Circle

    And the winner is;
    http://www.brucehopkins.co.uk/santana_4x4.htm

    Makes you wonder hey.
    Cheers Baz.

    So the results are...... in order of last place to first place...

    10th place with 37 points is - Nissan Pathfinder
    9th place with 43 points is - Hyndai Terracan
    8th place with 47 points is - Jeep Grand Cherokee
    7th place with 53 points is - Nissan Patrol
    6th place with 54 points is - Mistubishi Pajero
    5th place with 59 points is - Toyota LC/Prado
    4th place with 63 points is - Kia Sorrento
    3rd place with 70 points is - Land Rover Discovery 3
    2nd place with 74 points is - Land Rover Defender 110
    1st place with 82 points is - Santana PS10 !!!

    They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but I wonder if Land Rover are flattered that their Defender 110 copy, Santana PS10, with leaf, not coil springs bettered their own product?
    Cheers Baz.
