Cheers for the replyBILLY, I bought a new Jimny 16 plate but hurt my back so it was not getting Used as much as it should , but those vitara look a good bit of kit , do they ride nice , not like being dragged down the road in a bucket like the Jimny, but got to say it would go any where,ย Cheers buddy๐ ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheghillie Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Yes lovely comfy ride in them, i put all season tyres on my 1.6 and have had no problems in the snow and ice. I live up a single track road ( uphill ) and then down onto a rough track and never had any problems. Quite good on the juice to as long as you dont have your lead boots on. I tow a trailer tent 750kg unladen with it and it copes okay. My 2 models are 18 plates. hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrepin Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 I have a RAV4 4X4 2.5 petrol hybrid Auto. Lovely comfy car. Lots of room including boot.ย The worst thing I can say is its poor on wet grass and mud, however decent tyres may sort that. As mine is on lease I'm unable to choose. ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the truth of it? I feel its a case of no smoke without fire. Edited March 14, 2023 by Dave-G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
