We hada2002 2.0 hdi Citroen picasso ten years ago now when kids were little it was ideal we got that to 300k miles and the car was faultless. Did they lack torque in the 4x4 was was that the problem.

Vans are not cheap compared to old 4x4s finding a cheap genuine xtrail or rav4 will be the challenge. seen a few Rav 4son ebay 750 to 1500 the second generation with D4D engines in them look respectable could be worth having a look at, one in yorkshire not too far away interests me. I would still have my diesel 05 Rav 4 if I hadn't sold my house and bought a Hi Lux. Great vehicle, got anywhere on the shoot, back seats come out for extra load space (24 full body goose decoys, dog and kit), not to bad a juice, comfortable drive.

rob-d Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) We have a Rav 4 and they are a good mix of 2 wheel drive and 4x4 when needed. This keeps running costs down when on the roads. The best engine is the 134bhp 2.2ltr. they do do 180bhp but running costs are higher. They also do a 2ltr but this again isn't so good as it is underpowered. I do believe there is also a petrol version as well and I would imagine this would be cheaper than the diesel. My wife is not the best at driving economically and she gets 43mpg out of hers. Edited January 16, 2018 by rob-d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
