Moorside 642 Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Hiya lads, as the title says im in the market for a new motor my current one isnt big enough for my pack of mutts. Got a budget up to around 7 grand, itl be for my lamping trips and for the mrs in daytime. Think its time for a 4x4 been reading through various threads on here seems there's some real shite ones about so any advice would be of help. Cheers Moorside Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shepp 2,285 Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Had the x trail 2.5 td mint motor just very thirsty for round town Same as my Freelander 2, only does about 26 mpg around town, auto box doesn't help but drives fantastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moorside 642 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Read a topic on here about em seem to have mixed reviews on the x trail......I looked at one today boot space seemed pretty good to be fair. Boot space and reliability are my main things. Subaru forresters have a good reputation on here at least, anyone had the mk3 diesel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MR RABBIT 715 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I was thinking about one of these as mates got one and they look very robust..but I don't know much about them..and mate had his only year and half so can't really say much about them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MR RABBIT 715 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 This is the one I think I'll end up with as I don't drive feilds I just need a motor for going up tracks and getting me threw the snow I have wee honda hrv that I swapped for couple year back..and the reliability on paper is threw the roof but it's too small for me So I thought crv would suit better and wife could still drive with ease..and comes with a pinic table and cool box and the v-technology engines are well tried and tested Quote Link to post Share on other sites
