-Conclusion

Hair, September 27, 2011-Anywhere in us it must be preserved, the Landy. Somewhere in our mind, buried by the debris of many years of school, studying and working life. As a child already we moved the car like, simply as Matchbox model. Somehow the Landy was therefore always a house number in our head, and so we hesitate not long as the question comes up, who the new test car takes a Landy ONE-ten or official Land Rover Defender 110 station wagon rd4 rough. Right after work we plunge us thus in the adventure.Up by ChinBut first up, we must, in the driver’s seat. Already the running Board lies half a meter above sea level. We put our right foot on it, cling somewhere down us and remember: so it’s not going. So back and tried the same with the left foot. Now works out of the Chin, we put the right foot into the Interior, land in the seat and close the door. A painful experience, because we find ourselves doing the elbows: the distance to the door is so low that you have to watch. The position is also remarkable: the seat is in the rearmost notch, and yet our arms are slightly angled when we reach into the wheel. And then the pedals: our left foot lands for the first time incorrectly on the brake, as the clutch is away only two fingers broad of the outer door. Later, we will notice that the only possible relaxation position for the left leg is, where is located the feet on the pedals.

Amazingly far leftThe position of the Landy driver is amazingly far left outside. Advantage: We can lower the disk – which is even electrically – and delay our slightly damaged elbow into the cooling air. And we can sit us out of the window, to see the left front wheel – an advantage in the area.Much hard plasticInside, we watch on a stable, black hard plastic. An exception is only the center console, where the bronze metallic finish of our model comes to light. There also large dark grey buttons stand out is from the black cockpit material, which seem made such as for eternity. Over the nearly upright windshield, two narrow windshield that appear to come directly from the 1970s scrub as needed.Howling tiresThe hand brake, a vertical lever in addition to our right foot can easily be solved. We are the key links in addition to the steering wheel – Yes, left, right can everyone – in the ignition lock and turn it. Rough and loud, almost like a tractor engine, reports of 2, 4-liter diesel engine. No volume or pitch of the aggregate change much when driving. From about 50 km/h still a strange howl is added, the running noise of grobstolligen Goodyear Wrangler, which has our special model called rough. The tyres should be good for the site. Motor from travellingBut back to the drive. The engine comes from the Ford Transit. What may surprise first is not so strange, because the Land Rover Press Office considered the Landy truck, as we later explained. And so he drives also. The first course you can insert without any problems, even if the shift for this is quite long. And then it goes off. Our 4.64 metre long monster on the way is zockelnd, and rappelnd. We drive the medium variant of Defender, as experts from the number in the model name of “one-ten” see. The 110 stands for the wheelbase in inches.“Extremely light shifting”Shortly after starting the second corridor is due, the first is designed for the benefit of easy start-up in the mud or sand very short. In the shifting it does engaged, again as we, a right blow down in the depths of Landy, quasi in the engine room. “An optimized synchronization guarantees extremely accurate and easy shifting”, says the press kit. Now Yes. We would say: every course can insert themselves. But it feels every time like real work. Also with the guidance it is such a thing: we call error’s forgiving them. You can easily times turn two inches behind the wheel of changing something decisive to its course. It is also not just fast forward, as we note at the first traffic light, as passing all other cars to us. 17 Seconds of the Landy takes, to reach speed 100. 122 PS are just not a lot for a two. Rarely so calmly drivenBut that pass other motorists to us, nothing makes in the Landy us. If rear pushes a nervous commuters, we do not get with most. That is only to the extent of the visions of freedom and adventure, which deal with us. No, we do not see the Tailgater. The more dense a cars rear subjects, the more he disappears from the field of vision, somewhere under the rear hanging spare wheel. Rarely, we are driven so calmly, rarely as little rushed. The high seating position, which one far preview helps. Large cars ahead of us, such as a Mercedes M-class, look like toys, we take a look over it across. Also a positive aspect: the torque of lush 360 nm, which is available from 1,500 to 2,700 rpm available, makes hectic round switch unnecessary. You can speed up gently in little more than 1,000 tours.-Brakes? Better anticipate go with the brakes but it is such a thing. Such as when accelerating that takes a while for the Landy. The four disc brakes not give the impression, to be designed for our vehicle. One can also say they fit to the vehicle characteristics, as in the Landy, you go ahead. It should also, for security technology such as ESP and airbags do not exist for the Landy, and the crash properties are expected to meet today’s standards hardly: the ladder frame of our Landy is indeed stable, but there are hardly in such constructions crumple zones, which break down energy on impact. Also the usage is not just low: 11.0 liters are diesel according to Land Rover, and exactly the same value came out during our trips. A BMW X 5 with a twice as strong diesel needs only 7.4 liters. The engine does not meets the Euro 5 emissions standard also still. This creates the only for 2012 announcement 2, 2-litre diesel with in turn 122 HP.A turning circle like a truckAlso the top speed is little exhilarating: our round 40,000 Euro vehicle drives just 132 km/h top. But let’s leave that. The Landy is made just for the site. And other virtues are important, the ground clearance of about 31 cm for example or the WAT depth of 50 centimetres, the climbing ability of 45 degrees, and of course the permanent four-wheel drive. The turning circle would be also important if one wants to take a tight curve between rock and precipice. But here our Landy behave again like a truck: man must sometimes reset.Plenty of room in the trunkWhen you look back you will discover: our Landy has like a normal car two rows of seats, followed by a trunk. In the second row, you can sit very high and feel uncomfortable. The banks lying parallel to the direction of travel back, our match box model still had, no longer exists. It remained only steps left and right, among which the wheel arches are found. In between, lots of space remains. Land Rover can the per litre figures for the trunk does not call, only the dimensions: normal configuration in the luggage compartment measures 110 times 66 x 105 cm. It handles the seats forward, growing the storage space to 80 cm to 190 cm length. As a production model from 31.200 euroThere is the one-ten 31.200 euros, but in the rough driven it costs 40,500 euros. The model has a lot of additional equipment on board. It is offered only in metallic silver or bronze metallic, and with 16-inch alloy wheels. Wheel arches and roof are always black in the rough, the grill is, however, color, add more optical refinements. In addition, there is a step and LED lights at the rear. Inside, the rough has a partial leather equipment. Also ABS, traction control, an air-conditioning, a CD-radio, a heated windshield and a heated front are series. Competition? At best the Wrangler and land cruiser even if a Solitaire in the car is, can a competitive comparison of the Landy we him not quite spare. The Mercedes G-class retires for price reasons – they exist only from about 75,000 euro. Similar to off-highway Urviecher are the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and the Toyota Land Cruiser. But both have considerably more power. The Wrangler Unlimited there 2.8 CRD with 200 HP for 32,750 euros, the five-door land cruiser 3.0 D-4 d with 190 PS for 40.800. is not overpriced Landy in the normal version so.
