I think drive both and you will decide. LR drivers will not like the surf seating position and surf drivers will not like LR reputation. For what its worth, would you consider a Pajero? You get alot of bang for your buck there. No, I've never seriously considered a Pajero. Sadly I speak Spanish ...
