Don't get carried away with the apparent ruggedness of most 4x4s. If they haven't got a separate chassis, or are very heavy anyway (such as later Rangies and the big VAG ones like Q7 and Tuareg, they are just cars with a height complex. They will be equally good (or bad) at handing bad roads and off-road situations.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostI'm not into tulipty Mazda cars, I thought it fitted the OP spec that's all.
I will stick with my 911 Turbo S thanks.

Remember the time you took the piss because Iliked the Mazda 6 MPS. One of the best Q cars ever.
Mazda is by the far the best Jap manufacturer.

LR Disco's are huge, Disco Sports are the Freelander replacement and are ok. If you can wait and want to spend the money then the new RR Velar is lovely.
Personally I'd buy a car.
