After being snowed in for the last two years I am toying with the idea of getting a cheap 4WD so at least I can get to the top of the road and down the hill at the end.
Never fancied one, know nothing about them, always viewed them as status symbols (misguided).
Looking at less than ?2k, not bothered about image/comfort and should be cheap to run and insure. Which rules out Land Rovers, Discos, etc
1600/2000 should be enough, loads seem to be autos. Is this an issue in the real world?? Wouldn't be using off road.
Been looking at Rav4s (Toyota reliability?) and other Japanese stuff such as Vitaras (as I said, not bothered about image!!).
Tempted by a cheap Scooby but that breaks just about every rule I have set and probably not that great without winter tyres fitted in any event.
Any advice??
