jonty88 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Inevitably as some of us get older, we look to change our rides for something more spacious. I personally will most likely look for a 4x4 in the next couple of years due to work, but as fellow fans of the Z im interested to here your opinions on your favourite 4x4 (if any)! Il start off with one of my favourites: Toyota FJ Cruiser (rare in the UK and pretty cool IMO) 😆 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Pajero/shogun SWB. purely because the seats all fold flat to a big double bed and its great for long trips with the mrs and when kitted out correctly are great off road too! once my 350's built i'll be on the hunt for one as a second vehicle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 For an every day car, a Macan S would be my pick. For something that's truly special, the FF is on another planet. If we're talking more sensible, then I still really like my 3.2L Ranger. Gearbox is a bit duff, but it's got a huge towing capacity and because there's no weight over the rear axle most of the time it makes slidey slidey time a cinch to start 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonty88 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 I cant help think that the FF is just a hot hatch when I see it Ekona 😂 but the Macan S is hot! Always been a fan of the Pajero as well Bradders, my old Geography teacher at school had one, thought it was the don of the teachers car park 😠Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenLandy Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Can't beat a Defender Unless you're after a poncy school-run 4x4 of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Can't beat a Defender Unless you're after a poncy school-run 4x4 of course. But if you want something that's comfortable , has room inside , good on fuel and not tractor like , then there are plenty better options than the defender .

Ekona Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Exactly. As good as the Defender was for it's intended purpose, there's an awful lot of stuff out there these days that will do 80% of the work with 200% more usability. If you ever get the chance, go drive the Cayenne at the PEC in Silverstone. I had no idea just how bloody capable that thing is off-road, and the angles we were driving on were simply ridiculous!

WINKJ Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 For some odd reason, the older ML's have really grown on me! The higher specced versions can look quite mean on the road IMO. Also i still love the 'controversial' box discovery. However our little evoque does the job more than well for what we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne370Z Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Not a fan of any really, and don`t think I`ll need one cos I`m getting older (only got the Zed at 53) but for me the only 4X4 type that doesn`t look like a big ugly brick or box shaped is the Evoque.

gangzoom Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) If life really forces me to buy a SUV/4x4 it would have to be a specced out P90D-L Model X. 0-100 mph in 7.9 second in a 7 seater. Though there are better ways to spend £130k. Edited February 18, 2016 by gangzoom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponsonby Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Maybe not the coolest but I have a 2015 Hyundai Tucson. Went for 4x4 version because I want/need a 4wd not something pretending to be a 4wd. So far very happy with it. It looks good, well specced, and if you barter hard can be had quite cheaply. And economy (diesel) is very good indeed. Looked at Evoque because they look good but interior space is rubbish. Like the look of Macan but too much money for something that I, or the kids, may wreck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonty88 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Some pretty good shouts being made here guys! Never even thought about Tesla. I think it would be a 'poncy school run' 4x4 ide end up getting as it would need to be practicle / comfortable, although on a recent trip in Canada I saw some mean looking high spec 5 door Jeep Wranglers, its truck city over in British Colombia!

Floydbax Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 =1 for the Pajero here especially if you can get hold of the Evolution version, that's a serious piece of kit. I'm also a big fan of the VW Tourag and there's aV10 TDI too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad had an early Tourag when I was younger, it drove like a boat and sounded like a tractor, although a V10 would put that right! 😉 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
