lucky 578 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Always had subarus, l series, legacys and foresters very reliable and very capable off road, rear supspension is the biggest problem with the foresters and the turbo engines can't take the hammer a normal 2.0 can but the extra power is great. Fourtraks are good motors as well but very basic and not very comfortable and it's getting hard to find one now that isn't rotten. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spannerxoxo 6 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Jimny every time, as other people have said just remove the back seats out. No good to carry people in with you apart from a passenger in the front and that's it. Can comfortably get 2 Lurchers and a terrier in the back with plenty space. The one my friend had went anywhere and half the time 4WD wasn't even on. Didn't have proper off-road tires on either and still went anywhere. MPG was good on his, if it was no good he wouldn't keep it as was a day to day car as well. If it had more space would have kept it, ended up with a Nissan X-Trail now for the size and it's just as good and cheap(ish) to run. I'm buying a Dacia Duster next year, again good reviews off-road and cheap to run/tax/insurance and to buy from new. Good size day to day for me to get to work and back Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RossM 7,979 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 2 4x4z i not seen mentiond on here what I see everyday over here are Suzuki saumarai and lada niva both cheep and very capable off road Need arms like Popeye for the lada, no PAS, samurai I can see, best motor I had for off road etc was a daihatsu sportrak 1.6 petrol, decent on fuel and could not get this stuck if I tried. Mate had an old vitara, had to get farmer to pull us out a field in his tractor... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
