A slightly modified SJ413
Ah the Suzuki rollover
It's been said that (esp. for what it is) that the dinky 4x4 variant of the Fiat Panda is remarkably capable off-road.
I've never tried one though.
Back in the 80's, every farm round here seemed to have one of those Subaru 4x4 pickups - and they were great (haven't seen one for donkeys years though, so I expect they've all dissolved, eaten away by cows**t).
Good example of how beneficial chains are.
Nick if you're going for a 7 seater what about a Mitsubishi Outlander? We have a 15 plate one and it's been good so far, permanent 4 wheel drive, GX3 spec gets you leather seats, A/C with a decent assortment of accessories, ours has an auto box and the missus loves it, it's no proper off roader but will do a bit of rough stuff and it's got a massive boot with the seats folded down!We’re going to stick with a 7 seater,with our youngest starting big school in September,it’s going to pay to do some lift sharing to save car journeys,the penalty of rural lifestyles,so it’s a modern car,or an old s2 discovery.
Thanks to all.
