      Um, suggestion to be reading the requirement.

        Never gets stuck, not too big (i.e. easy for the wife to park).

        Bomb proof.
        That is a good point. The Forester is a bit smaller and lighter than the others.

            1) there is no mention of ground clearance issues so you'll have a lower centre of gravity.
            2) SAS is rich enough to buy it for pater without blinking. Or is his wealth the lie we know it is.

                I live in the country and I've got an L200. Goes anywhere at any gradient. One with a Mitsubishi history is as near 100% reliable as you can get. A decent one is 10K.

                  I think that Audi could cope with a rutted track. It's hardly the mountain trail I have to do in Wales.

                    Yes, but Sasguru Sr would be driving it. Is that really wise?

                      I don't think a 500bhp 4x4 rally car would have a problem.
