Guest Moscow Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) Vitara are good but small. Discoverys 200/300tdi are good and cheap but finding a decent one that has been looked after is hard The hard bit is finding one that has been looked after or it will cost you a fortune to get right or when the mot comes around and that goes for any 4x4 If your worried about fuel consumption DONT buy any 4x4 Most importantly is get the right boots fitted for your needs, any 4x4 with the wrong boots for its needs will perform crap Edited December 12, 2012 by Moscow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
