Better mpg Idont think so fourtrack 2.8 td 35mpg scooby 20ltr petrol 25mpg if your lucky,also try running ur scooby on bio diesel or veg oil,which would make it much cheaper in the fourtrack,agree on rust tho daihatsu 35mpg i dont think so only way you save on diesel is if you introduce them to cherry and even if you did get it stopped and took of you it wouldnt be a great loss there the very worst ever 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

welsh-ghillie 0 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 ever thought about a sportrack ? only 1.6 and good on petrol and will go anywhere with proper tyres! we use one and the whole back of the roof basically comes off with a few phillips headed bolts, and the main sunroof comes out in one so a passenger can comfortably sit on the roof with their legs inside whilst lamping round the roughest welsh forestry roads. thought id add this to the mix lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trenchfoot 4,243 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 forrester everytime. tried everything to kill mine and failed. never got stuck, and when it comes to rough lanes not much else would see which where it went. which can be handy at times. Only swapped it for a landy as need something to tow heavy traillers off road. Wish I had kept it to be honest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
