OK so now I need a new 4x4

[Vito]

done the latter thanks, about 9 months ago.....oh and condoms, havent needed them for about 5 years, the snip cured that one !

Excellent...so you have the experience for the job...do it all over again...this time it will be cheaper...

I need the 7 seats because:-



a. I have 2 children and the GF has two children, and we need some luggage space.



b. I go shooting at the weekends and often this is off road, and requires a 4x4.



c. I need a something that gives me good visibility, and will allow me to get out of a tight spot when emptying the shops. (read carries a large bag of cash)



so please, do recommend an alternative, so far I've not found one.

Milan.

Would rather have a Disco...I tested an XC90 and it just didn't do it for me...

[Vito]

How about a Shogun?

They look the business and have been a leader in this market for as long as I've been alive...

At least gooner gave valid reasons for needing a 4x4, most people buy one because they are selfish w*****s who couldn't give a flying feck if they run over your children or pulverise your focus because they cant break fast enough.

There was a program on the other night when they put a range rover driver in a mini, he drove around like lord of the manor in the RR clipping curbs and forcing his way in at junctions, in the mini he looked liked a scared little lamb with both hands gripping the wheel for dear life when big 4x4's came near him.

Or the Trooper - they're equally bulletproof...

if you move from a Disco to an ML you'll be going from one pile of poo to another

seems the 7 seater with the best reviews these days is the Volvo XC90

still, to be driving around in one of those you need to be on .Net rates !

Milan.

Agree with Milan on this one.

However, the XC90 has a fault which could cause it to go up in smoke.

I believe it was covered in Watchdog some months back.

At the time, Volve UK refused to issue a recall whereas Volvo US instantly issued a recall.

If your considering one, I 'd investigate this further.

I have 2 Shoguns both from new, the first is 10 years old and has done 160k miles - but cracked its head last year (which I replaced) this prompted me into buying a new shape Shogun last year intending to replace the earlier model, but having fixed it I intend to keep it going until it dies and/or destroys the planet.

Both are Diesel Autos ( which I recommend) and of the two I actually prefer to drive the older model - but this could just be because I don't care so much if it gets dented or scratched in the supermaket car park.

I have driven the Disco and was very impressed with the ride - superior to the Shogun IMHO but as always it's the reliability of the Landie products that prevented a purchase

HTH
