But not if he can't read a brochure properly.

.....coming from a guy who just purchased himself a 200 series GXL model landcruiser ,

Quote : "Many people have mentioned that the Land Rover Discovery is about the same price and has all the fruit and a great write up.....maybe worth a look for all in the market for a "decent" 4wd with better creature comforts" is absolutely priceless.

.....also this comment about the Fuel Economy stands out , "I would challenge anyone driving in normal conditions to get anywhere near the claims regarding the fuel economy. Toyota claim 10L per 100klm ...cough cough. I am no brainiack but I cannot get anymore than about 800klm per 135L's ( that's 16.85 L/100km ) . I don't drive heavy or like a pensioner (no offence) just an average person driving in the City and a couple of long distance runs every monthwe all knew that the Toyota Claims of 10L/100km a false claim.

no but he has a point about it not being laid out well.....

Yes, he has a number of valid points but not regarding the seats.

The fuel economy ain't great! That's 16.8 litres/100km - my 4.6 litre V8 PETROL Rangie does better than that - and I am heavy with the pedal.

Tend to agree Ron, but.......If I was wanting to know whether the seats were height adjustable I would read the brouchre and upon coming to that line I would say " See my Little Flower, My Love, the front seats are height adjustable, can I please, please buy it now?" ...and I would read it no further....methinks that perhaps it is deliberate, 'cos as he states the first word on the next line can easily fit in on the line in question.


Beside all of this is a moot question, cos who here is gonna run out and buy a 200 series Toyota Landcruiser when our Series IIA Land Rovers don't look like dying for at least another 60 years or so

FMD that guy is an A grade tool, disregarding the seat issue (c'mon, he bought the BASE model 200 series, granted, exxy at the price, but still a flash setup even as a base model) wtf is with him whinging about the cargo barrier? the barrier is removable, as are the seats, allowing him to either seat 8 people, or 5 and have cargo in the rear

the cargo barrier is an ACCESSORY, the airbags arent, and regardless of how many laws are in place, history has proven that those laws ARE ignored, and there will be some idiot who crams a couple of people in the back of a LC200 with the cargo barrier in place, so as an a**e covering exercise, the "do not engage child lock with cargo barrier in place" and glass hammer are fitted...... stops those who shouldnt be allowed to breed from having too much ammunition when they want to sue.....

the airbag compatibility issue? no doubt the cargo barrier is designed in such a way that its mounting points or having it in place doesnt affect the deployment of the airbags

between idiots like him, the BS on ACA, and people who think giving me grief and the toughguy attitude when they want me to be nice to them and give them a good price on a car on my yard, i'm rapidly losing respect for the general public
