Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Due to be replaced in the coining months the L200 has been an outright winner in the sales charts for some time But we don't know why. It has an archaic 2.5-litre engine that somehow produces 112hp and feels as it its constantly gasping for breath. pulling with all the gusto of a chicken. Add to this a drive-train that transfers power down through constant snatching and jerking back.

Next up. we have the chassis, which unfortunately rivals the engine tor dynamics. Soft in suspension, it allows the rear end to jump around, especially when unloaded, meaning extra care is needed in the corners —and as for in the wet, well .

But its not all bad news. Payload is a strong 1 ,100kg and the inechanicals and tour-wheel drive system are well proven, uttering strong reliability oft-road And it you're quick you could pick up a bargain before it disappears.
