Hmmm, a three tonne four wheeled garden shed with a 300bhp petrol engine.
Aside from the OAP "you don't have to bend down to get in" brigade I really struggle to see why these 'cars' are so popular.
What do they offer that a Golf doesn't, assuming you don't live in a muddy quagmire? And if you did then surely you'd buy something that was more appropriate to that type of living.
Heavy,
Crap on fuel.
No aerodynamics.
Ridiculously expensive tyres.
Not that much room inside considering it's probably bigger than a T6.
Ahh, yes, fashion.
