Sorry Ouzo, i did mention that the Territory was only $40,000 and i did mention "other reasons for buying the Territory" i did not specify what they were, based on my own experience only. Everyone will still have their own personal oppinions, and it may seem like the others struggle in their on-road performance compared to the Territory. I can't say, i havent driven the Territory, but I have driven Range Rovers, Discovery IIs, X5s, a Touareg, XC90, Honda MDX, and i really gotta say... the real 4X4s are very civilized these days -so while some people will buy the Territory based on how civilized it is, and i would forgive them for that, i would suggest people to give the others a shot too. EG, a Discovery II with ACE cornering enhancement is able to do a hairpin turn at 60km/h with no worries at all... theres a lot of cars that struggle to do that.... having said that, i still think the Territory has its pros and if people like the car for what it is then that's ok with me. But i wouldnt suggest it as a people mover over a Discovery III or Explorer or Prado based on fuel consumption alone, as they are very similar. You would have to look at what you personally like about the vehicle. Me? I like the Territory, but i am too much of an off-road fan, and as i said having driven the others, if upfront money wasnt part of the equation i would go the Discovery3 V8 HSE.... incidentally, one major bonus with the Territory vs the others is the servicing and spare parts costs... Can you verify this?
