pretty impressed !!!! by big-dom on Mon Mar 11, 2013 9:31 pm
got to try out the fronteras 4wd system for first time last night and I have to say I was very impressed, the misses got stuck in the snow at the bottom of a large hill and couldnt get home with our newborn in the car so frontera to the rescue, let it roll down the hill in low gear and just ploughed through straight and true, into 4wd and it just climbed all way to top with no hassle, cars were stuck all way up, people at work were saying the frontera was rubbish off roaf as well but cant see what they were talking about

Don't worry mate there are a lot of Landrover drivers that have come over to the Frontera and found they do what it say's on the tin !!! :wink: These vehicle's are more than capable off road especially when fitted with the correct tyre's. :thumbup: A lot of people expect ordinary road tyres on a 4x4 to take them anywhere just because it say's 4x4. :wtf: Most of the conditions we get in the uk they are allright but when it get's realy bad stick a set of A/T's or M/T's on and then check out where it can go!!! :mrgreen:

Before I got my fronty I heard stories etc but decided I wanted one anyway. I paid £500 for my s reg 2.2dti and tbh its been the best £500 I have ever spent.
