@markt8235 I've owned both and can honestly say I'd take a 2CV anyday for anything other than the off-road work a 2CV won't manage (and it'll manage a surprising amount)
Reliable, comfy and 50mpg.. All failings of the LR in my experience.
@FunOnTheFarm7 Standard 2CV s are actually pretty good off-road.. 125x15 tyres, really lihjt, massive ground clearance and soft suspension are ideal.
i don't think this says anything, how fast you can go over something doesn't explain it's offroad capability, an imprezza could beat the landrover on a 1/4 mile drag strip on gravel, it doesn't mean it is more capable offroad
The very first 2cv eas 4x4 and the suspension system was designed for offroad use from the outset if you look at the design brief for it.The bench mark was that it had to travel over a ploughed field with a dozen eggs in a tray on the passenger seat and that they must survive the trip at speed.Hence the weird susp. set up they have with longitudinal shock/springs and long susp. travel.check it out.
Land Rover is way worse offroader. You just should accept it. It cant beat as stock the CV2 simply because it weight 4x one CV2, and everyone know that weight is huuge problem. You sink on mud, on sand, on snow. CV2 still has good ground clearance, a lot of wheel travel, 4wd, and good tires. Land Rover is famous of its problems with lockers, Defenders 4wd isnt very advanced. Only center is lockable. Still Defender is good choise in these days, since cars like CV2 arent even produced anymore.
She makes out like the landy has a difflock, not dissing the 2cv, but teh landy is way way way better at offroad, if that water had have been 6inches deeper i reckon that 2cv would die, and as for capability, landy. So i dont appreciate people making out that a 4x4 2cv is better that a landy. She could have also driven that landy faster, making it win.
True, but the 2cv had to win, or they wouldn't have bothered putting it on tv. Notice how the 2cv overtakes the Landy after the water, but the Landy is stationery? I bet the Landy would win really, and they just gave the 2cv a head start. Brilliant engineering though.
No, having known Louis for over 20 years, I'll confirm that he *is* mad. His Citroen engineering is bloody superb though. I note that the fat grinning twat called Clarkson was nowhere near. One anti 2CV remark to Louis and he would now be walking about with a 2CV 'manivelle' stuffed firmly up his arse.
2cv always the best everywhere!!!

the cv2 Sahara is 4 wheel drive, but it has 2 engines. These little engines cant take going at a some what good speed with only one

the point is u could make mostly any car 4wd and make it as good as a land rover but how good would a stock 2wd be? ... shit

Make them tow a trailer full of logs then see who wins and the tyres were shit on the land rover.
