fortune82 Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Lets say you had £15,000 to spend on a new 4x4. What would be top of your list? Im mainly concerned about reliability, half decent MPG (high 20's) on road comfort and a half decent off road ability. Discovery 3 has taken my attention however some reliability horror stories have put me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 If you do 95% of your miles on the road, then get the Subaru Forrester - the fast one. If it's more like 60/40 on road off road, the get the Disco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight32 Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Suzuki Jimny? Brand new, and 7k change out of the 15k. Free haircuts for life, and high 30's mpg? I dont own one but they seem quite popular among the shooting masses at the moment. I have a second truck for shooting so I aint too worried about mpg.

itchy trigger Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) if your spending that kind of money, 1st choice has to be a mercedes ml, I have one (2004), 28-32 mpg on the dunlops 37000mls, don't have a mpg figure yet for the AT2's, fantastic on road, great of road, it suprises a lot of people how good it actualy performs, has pulled out of situations where other 4x4 have been struggling for traction, only down side is perhaps ground clearance but that as yet has not been a problem for the 4 years I've had it, my toyota land cruiser friend is well impressed with the ride, noise and comfort levels, so much so think he's getting one next supersport Edited December 26, 2010 by supersport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 At the moment i would say Pick up, i say at the moment as they are still on comercial tax, you can chuck as muck poop in the back as you like and still have a reasonable standard of shall we say smell in the rest of the vehicle. You should get the MPG your after You should get a 2year old Hilux for that price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J@mes Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Horror stories on D3 reliability all true.

itchy trigger Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 the Mercedes ML is still the best choice of all those posted, it could only be bettered by a range rover and that would have a good chance of not being to clever in this price bracket. supersport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
