    LandRovers are particularly cr@p and undoubtably one for the badge snobs.

    Probably german or japanese as the engineering is better. Interior build quality generally better too, though of course you pay for that.

    Still, at least with the vauxhalls/fords the parts are cheap when they break down

    Why didn't you just add the criteria of "car must be cool and I'm an inadequate badge snob" when you made your original post. It would have saved time
