Cheers elvi i did look at that silver jag shame its an auto same with the subaru im after a manual as i could use my dads range rover for winter but again its auto and i dont like them  :grin: that passat on the other hand would be alright although if its anything like the golf 4mo it will drink more than i do which isn't good plus really i find vw's quite unreliable regarding sensors etc i just need something that will go through snow and not give me any hassle for 6 months  :evil: over budget also max is £1400 sorry is there any smaller engined 4x4's in the vag group for the sort of price im willing to pay which dont suffer from any problems  :laugh:

It's a Mondeo.

This always makes me laugh. They share less with the mondeo than the TT does with the golf. This sadly means it doesn't get the build quality, reliability or sharp handling of the Mondeo either.

My old man had a 2.0D 2WD one and while it looked nice, it fell apart, was unreliable and frankly a bit crap.

Haha sounds interesting and thats maybe why they are so cheap now but surely if i choose one it would last another 6 months although my luck with cars is not a great one im currently looking at reviews and forums etc and its a mixed view tbh so i dont know really i'd prefer a petrol also as i havn't yet seen a 4x4 diesel version yet and petrol price dosn't bother me either  :smiley:

If you can find one that is

If that was more available and im guessing it wont be cheap due to rarity i'd have one that is quality  :smiley:

I saw one in Germany for sale at a very reasonable price, dont seem to have the kudos they do over here.




Saw this mini unimog and Norweigen Mk3 on my travels this year too, unimog would be sweet in the snow this year :cool:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
