Well it's snowing folks across the UK and it has been for several weeks now. In Scotland it has been the coldest winter in over 30 years. As many county councils are beginning to run out of salt to grit the roads it begs the question which car is best to own in severe weather conditions. With some reports suggesting that over 40% of the UK's workforce were unable to get into work in the past few days due to the treacherous driving conditions, this suggests it is a financial issue for industry as well as safety that are important to consider. One of the best vehicles to own in these icy conditions is a Land Rover.

A used Land Rover is great value for money if you take into account the starting price of a new model. For example a used 2001 Freelancer can cost anywhere from around £6,500. If you consider the starting price for a vehicle of this type then this is excellent value for money. There are several different types of Land Rover such as the Freelander, Discovery and Defender which all offer different features the customer may desire.

Over the past few years Land Rover and most other 4x4 vehicles have come under criticism because of the environment. This is mainly due to its relatively high fuel consumption due to the size and weight of the vehicle. However fuel consumption is an easy topic to target. In fact most 4X4s are built in a robust way in order to survive for 20 years. In my experience the Land Rover is a reliable vehicle which is great news if you are looking to purchase a used Land Rover. This vehicle offers a fantastic driving experience.

The Land Rover 4x4 is an excellent vehicle if you live in the countryside but this has also become a popular vehicle for a person with a young family. This is probably because it is a comfortable ride compared to other 4x4 (loosely demonstrated on Top Gear Bolivia Special shown a few weeks ago) and there is plenty of room to accommodate the weekly shop, pets and the kids all at the same time. The vehicle looks great, with a robust and powerful image yet still looking understated. Ok, so compared to small superminis the fuel consumption isn't the best in the world but would you expect it to be considering the size and weight difference?

In order for you to really experience the driving performance of the 4x4 vehicle I suggest test driving a used Land Rover. This will allow you to decide for yourself if the range of Used Land Rover models available is right for you.

Sales Record Achieved by Land Rover… Again

The people behind Land Rover must be doing something good. Of course, would they have gotten their second sales record in two years globally if they were not? The manufacturer of all wheel drive vehicles has sold 192, 500 vehicles around the world. This is 4 per cent higher than their previous years’ sales or an addition of 8,500 vehicles from 2005.

They have achieved this feat globally; in the United States they have increased their sale by 3.5 per cent. This is mainly due to the release of the Land Rover Range Rover Sport which has increased its sales by up to 80 per cent from the previous year. In Russia, another growing market for their 4x4 units, they have increased their sales by 54 per cent than the previous year with the Land Rover Discovery as the top choice of buyers. Their Russian market has been steadily growing for the past 6 years, a testament to the confidence of the public in the performance of the car and its Land Rover parts. An increase in their sales in the Middle East reflects 54 per cent growth and in North Africa, a 43 per cent increase.

Another market the brand is focusing on is the New Zealand market which they are expected to enter in the middle of this year. The Land Rover Range Rover with the TDV8 diesel engine is UK’s best selling luxury car, showing just how competitive globally this brand is. This model accounts for 92 per cent of the total sales in the region.

The brand has surely left the question to the reliability of their vehicles behind. And they are definitely back to compete even against Asian all wheel drive vehicles which have, for some time, taken over the European market in off road vehicles.

The company has made this growth on their sales despite not having the Land Rover Freelander for the second half of the year. The next generation Land Rover Freelandeer will be built alongside the Jaguar X-type in Halewood.

All these growth in sales number can only be good news for the Ford Motor Co. which owns the Land Rover brand. They no doubt need figures like these to boost the financial status of the company.

Another piece of positive news coming from Land Rover is its continuing relationship with the Ion Group. For fifteen years, the relationship between them has achieved a number of awards for customer service excellence. Ion is responsible for tactical promotional activity and dealer network support. And another three years more will be added to the relationship of the two companies when Land Rover appointed the Ion Group to take control of its sales management center.
