I know that some makes such as BMW X5 and X3 are useless off road, and Landrovers are excellent, ut what about other makes? aAre any better than Landrovers? And don't say x-=Trails, I've seen the adverts and I take my Combo van down worse tracks!

Yes, but only if you get something like a Defender. Toyota hilux (old version) is also quite good off road.

Definately the Landrover defender 90. You won't get a better 4X4 and the build quality is fantastic - it's estimated that 75% of all landrovers built since 1955 are still on the road. You can buy a TDI with 100,000 on the clock and it'll still outlive a new car.

An off-road and all round road test was done with a lot of the new 4x4s. When off road they got stuck! To get them out they used a 1963 L/Rover.
Need I say more?

4X4 such as landrover are great, but BMW X5 and X3 aren't 4X4's there Sport's utility vehicles, which is another thing altogether

I know farmers who love their old landrover (not to be confused with rangerovers). But then I know farmers who use a bog standard van for many things. It feels like 95% of 4x4s these days don't get used as 4x4s but as planet killling pedestrian death traps in places like London.

No, the Lexus LX470 and the Toyota Land Cruisers are, so says Car and Driver. But i know for sure that the best 4x4 is the Hummer H1

If price is a sign of best performer, then Landrover is the best.

No the best 4x4 is the Range Rover not the Land Rover.
