Noisy and slow

Chunky though. Any suggestions for 4wd?

(DBT became a fruitarian on, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 13:24, Reply)

Not a jeep, or a freelander or a disco
Sportage is good value and reliable

Yeah, unless you live on a farm or up a mountain, you don't need one.

What's your point?
I don't need e's and whizz but I'll have some if I WANT to.

No point beyond that.

The landie was needed, as some patients live in the middle of nowhere.
Ill have a look at Sportage.

Get a new one for a tenner.

If you really need the extra ground clearance
XC90, or quashqi are more than enough

For on or off-road in the main?
for off-road, Lada Niva and upgrade with Fiat engine for extra power.

On road, but rural area, get a few floods and shit weather. Winter can be a bugger.

2wd is fine for that.
If you want a 4x4 for the sake of it, fine. Trying to claim you "need" it because it snows occasionally is a pet hate of mine.

Why?

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 13:40, Reply)

Because it is a cretins statement

I feel safer in one, we dont get the gritters out.

(DBT became a fruitarian on, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 13:44, Reply)

Ugh.

( Kroney, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 13:46, Reply)

Because it's wrong for one thing. You don't need four wheel drive for bad weather.
Being unable to handle a vehicle in bad weather is a symptom of shitty driving skills, not an inadequate drive train.

For another it's too often used as an excuse by people that value them as status symbols, or by people that are so shot scared of traffic that they feel the need to be higher to feel "safe" when, in fact, it's not at all.

Rant rant rant.

( Kroney, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 13:44, Reply)

I want one as a status symbol to show everyone I am better than them.

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 13:45, Reply)

Fine. I mean, it makes you a prick, but at least you're an honest prick.

my dad's had a q5 and a cayenne
i thought i'd hate them, but actually they are amazingly fun to drive, like a super-fast armchair.

You want to get yourself a nice Volvo.

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 13:46, Reply)

Just don't get the sports suspension one, with the low profile tyre.
Lady pigs mum has it, and it has the ride of a donkey cart.
