Talk about your perfect test drive: I was handed the keys to Land Rover’s slightly-larger-than-midsize SUV just a day before the region was hit with a mild (3-5 inches) snowstorm. The LR2 took the test and handily passed it.
As much as my wife and kids hated the last car I wrote about (the Audi Q7), they enjoyed the LR2. My wife thought the size was right, and was impressed both with the navigation system, which offered us three choices for our route, and with the amenities in the front seat (the heated seats being the best find on a cold and wintry night).
“I like it quite a bit,” she said. “I like the look of it; I liked the way it rode. I could see us in it.”
For regular readers, you’ll note that that is high praise from my wife, especially without any negatives thrown in. She has a pretty discriminating eye and ear for cars, and there haven’t been a lot that I’ve brought home that have won her over.
