Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

L2D0 is a winner in commercial terms we'd have to say no— its expensive, excessive and not even class-leading in several areas. Granted, the extra costs bring some useful features: who wouldn't like a kitted-out load area, cruse control, air-con and sat-nay? However not everyone wants chrome adornments, side skirts and chandeliers.

But underneath the glitz there lies another, more capable L200 which we failed to find major fault with during our time together.

Its chassis is unashamedly road-based, but apart from the odd foray up a dirt track that's where many will stay.

This doesn't mean it lacks the coionesfor the rough —far from it. The four-wheel-drive hardware is more than capable, giving grip and drive when you need It, but we're not convinced by the auto box and there's not enough wheel travel to make it the king of the hills. Overall it Impresses with its balance of on/off-road ability—just don't get it too dirty.
