CONS
Others are better on-road, bouncy ride
It may be the smaller brother of the Land Cruiser Amazon, but the Land Cruiser is still a whopper in its own right if you pick the five-door model. If you need something rugged to look the part outside the school gates then we’d suggest you buy a Volvo XC-90 or Lexus RX300 as they’re better to drive on the road, (although school-runners will appreciate the fact that a Land Cruiser has eight seats).
What it lacks in terms of on-road agility, it makes up for in go-anywhere talent, so if you don’t get it dirty you’ll never know just how good it can be.
