I have done this AND worse in my X6, ask Martinbo - The RSA is THE playground of the SUV and in my case SAV genre. Just goes to show - BBC Top Gear fabricated filming - BRITISH marketing BITISH products....Bla bla bla...whe all know Clarkson AND he can't drive poor bloke! Saw the BEST 4x4xFAR...Range Rover got stuck here...and IMO it REALLY is the best 4x4xfar! I just loooooove the Range-Rover, would buy one in...say 20 years for comfort and capibility when I retire. X6 / X5...same underpinnings and I would not make a song and dance about their offroad capability, though this video speaks for itself - they are fairly and satisfactory capable!
That video didn't do the RR justice, the guy driving had the settings compltely wrong! Idiot driving an RR: Someone with know how driving an RR: There is no point tryign to even mention that a X6 has the same off-road capabilities as a RR
The first is a Range Rover and the second a Land Rover. Different cars. As you can see, the Land Rover performs MUCH better off road. Sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about
I can't understand when it became fashionable use the word Nazi, I think it is fast becoming a cliche I don't fight with the iDrive neither does my wife who is not that computer savvy. I believe this iDrive complexity-complaint schitk is becoming a bit ridiculous. If you can't figure it, then try doing some 4th grade stuff. I honestly don't see the relationship between the topic and Max Mosley here so I beg to ask the question- what is the point here? It is obvious you are obsolutely clueless. I have been driving my X6 with summer tires in snow for 2 months now so I honestly don't see the logic of your argument. It works well in snow, and icey condition, and I am sure with proper tyres it will be much better.
Watch the video, you'll see the RR do a climb first! Low range is used for bad road conditions such as snow and ice, it's need when breaking and setting off.
Again, if you want something different with a original design, cheaper and with a better ride but drives the same... What the point in the 5-er GT?
Especially when this site is called German Car Zone. If there is one country we cherish and respect here, it's Germany.
The low-range is actually recommended for use when driving in snow or other bad conditions in some "cars", like my parents previous Mitsubishi L200. So, in a sense, Vroom² is right. I think you guys are thinking of different road conditions.
The X6 made a sporty move from the X5 while the GT made a similar move towards comfort compared to the 5-series.
I have to agree with him on the gear shifter. I mean, what was wrong with the old way of shifting gears? Oh and the placement of the Park button on top of the shifter doesn't help either. Once I was leaving a gas station with my hand on the shifter and I accidentally engaged it without knowing it. Took me a minute to figure out what just happened. I'd still get an X6 anyway .
