NorfolkAYA Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 So yesterday I was out on the stubble in my golf 😂. Defiantly decided I need to buy another 4x4 and now not having to commute far to work either. Budget around 5-6k. I like the idea of a pick up. I've had a jimny before and hated it so sold it.

TONY R Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) If you are sure you need a 4x4 you cant beat Toyotas some nice Land cruiser colorados around in your price range top reliability and built to last. I would love a Nissan potrol Gr but as things are and as my ancient terrano is still very much a project these days, but shooting still needs to go on i get by with a T5 Volkwagen Transporter and a Small ATV !00cc it fits in the van easy and to use the yamaha i need the trailer too much faffing. Way it is now just pull up two in the morning after lamping no ATV to unload off the trailer just back the van in the garage job done. Here look at these two wheel drives and a golf doing ok off road and if you take a passenger with you.

picardy Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 If I were you pal I'd go for a Isuzu rodeo 3ltr diesel , great motor very reliable and does what you ask it to had a few different pick up but this was by far the best ,but I too love the landcrusier but I've never owned one .atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Very Helpful you complete ****** It was a joke if you want something that drives like a car on the road and not like a 4x4 but will also go over muddy fields and lanes and not get stuck you will be hard pushed to beat a Nissan X-trail I have got a 2003 diesel one and can confirm that they are very good in the mud and the fuel consumption is also good.

Whitebridges Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) So you are selling the golf and going 4x4 as the one and only? Edited August 10, 2016 by Whitebridges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkAYA Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 So you are selling the golf and going 4x4 as the one and only? No I have an 2009 Audi A3 that my Mrs drives should I ever need kind distances. Just purely look do something to go up the fields and to work in. It was a joke if you want something that drives like a car on the road and not like a 4x4 but will also go over muddy fields and lanes and not get stuck you will be hard pushed to beat a Nissan X-trail I have got a 2003 diesel one and can confirm that they are very good in the mud and the fuel consumption is also good. Thanks, I'll have a look into the X-trail 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1nut Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 If you wanted a bit of fun on the road then also 4wd how about a turbo forester? Or a Impreza sport wagon The ground clearance is good and the awd system is pretty impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkAYA Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Just a quick question guys...how do you go about insuring a pick up?. I can't seem to get a Commuting option, it's either business use or social pleasure and domestic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 No problem at all for commuting, mine is about £300 a year and most insurers seem to cover them like cars and not push you at commercial insurance. Lv direct line and the admiral group are ones I've been with. Your budget will get a good newer shape l200 or a rough Isuzu or hilux. Personally if you shoot, have dogs etc then it's the perfect vehicle and reasonable running costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't seem to get a Commuting option, it's either business use or social pleasure and domestic? If you get a double cab pickup i think they get you out of that rooling as classified as normal 4X4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkAYA Posted August 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Cheers for the help lads I've decided I'm going to go for a Suzuki Grand Vitara around 07 plate. They seem a good buy for the money 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
