marzman Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Am I allowed to say BMW X6 No. Unless you're Stevie Wonder. Disagree. For me the appeal of a 4x4 is to be as obnoxious as possible, as in reality very few people actually need one. So Cayenne and X6 fit that brief perfectly. There's literally no point in either of them. Thats why i love them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydbax Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) =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 An evo pajero?! WHAT! Never knew there was such a specimen. 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 http://www.autospeed...&A=3081����Read and weep http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/mitsubishi/shogun-pajero/mitsubishi-pajero-evolution-tiptronic/5220281?v=b Oh jeeze you got me at it now Edited February 18, 2016 by Floydbax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new X6 is better, but still suffers from that stupid bootline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's literally no point in either of them. Thats why i love them! Obnoxious = 5.7 ltr V8 Jeep Commander with a custom built cat back straight through exhaust like mine. Love it's huge boxy aggressive style and very rare on uk roads, plenty of the little boys 3 ltr diesel versions, but the daddy is the V8 model. 0-60 in just over 7 secs, impressively smooth auto box and the first real mass produced 4x4 cars were jeeps, land rovers are just bad copies of the original . On the serious side though, GREAT cars and I've (touch wood) never had any issues with mine and comfy as anything I've ever sat in. Bought mine used on 56k miles and fully loaded with all the media and goodies. Cost the previous owner £55k new in 2006, I bought in 2013 for £8500 ....... bargain in my eyes and that V8 rumble is narvana. Spend a few bob on lowered stiffer springs and it completes the ride quality, oem is just too soft for uk roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonty88 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Some great 4x4's being called out by you guys, if people start throwing pickups in the mix though there is going to be a serious list!

WINKJ Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I think every mainstream 4x4 has been mentioned now, kind of defeats the object!! Different perceptions of what's cool I guess!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned 3, I wouldn't call any of them 'mainstream' they are all relatively rare and very good 4X4s that were cool when 1st introduced, haven't aged and are still (IMHO) cool now - That and I'm the coolest person I know with the coolest taste makes any of them a great choice. Then that and the fact that I don't give a flick what anyone else thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I thoroughly enjoyed my rental X3 x-drive V6 oil burner in Denmark/Norway/Sweden. Not pretty to look at but it was brilliant for the 2k miles I did by A road, B road, mountain pass and motorway. Fast enough (0-60 in 6s), economical enough (45mpg), spacious enough for two tyres in the boot plus my luggage and a nice place to sit and crunch miles and take in the scenery. Even in the fun sections it was a laugh, if a bit unpredictable on loose gravel at speed And it went all the way to the Arctic on summers. Couldn't fault it apart from a lack of charm.

You see, to me that's cool. Its a shXbox BMW, it did everything that was asked of it, probably thrashed within an inch of it's life, ugly as sin and would you buy one? NO. please for F's sake NO. It's cool because it's a rental No sane person would part with hard earned cash for one of those for keeps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonty88 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Remember guys, the fastest car out there is always a rental 😉 The Bowler is also another awesome 4x4 but I dont think the lack of fold flat seating would be of any use to me 😠Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un1eash Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) I thoroughly enjoyed my rental X3 x-drive straight 6 oil burner in Denmark/Norway/Sweden. I've seen a couple X5 M50d's now which must be fun with a 3.0l tri turbo diesel pushing 380bhp. Edited February 18, 2016 by un1eash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul K Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 This might be a little contentious. ......but don't buy a 4x4. Unless you live in a field and own a horse Buy a proper car!!! Where I live most 4x4 are owned by school run mums. Total PITA when they clog up the roads in their RR evokes or X5's dropping little Jonny off at school or whatever Humph Rant over Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
