Tyson Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I work at a supermarket and parking the supra in the car park is not ideal to say the least So I am looking to get a second car, I was wondering what people recommend? It needs to be cheap (Budget 2k, 2.5 max for the right car), cheap to run and reliable. It needs to be able to used all year round (prefferably 4x4), big to lug a load of crap around and ideally 7 seater but not end of the world if it isn't. The ones I have been looking at so far are pajero/shogun and hilux surf. What are your opinions guys ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 You don't need a 4x4, get a decent car with a set of winter tyres and you're laughing. At the risk of sounding like a Skoda PR, I'd advise you look at the Octavia Estate. I doubt you'll find a better car for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 +1 on the Cherokee idea. I thought jeeps were not very reliable and 4.0 V8 isn't exactly cheap to run lol would be looking for diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stretch your budget to the max, you'd be able to get a facelift model which, I think, are a lot more reliable. To be honest, when I drove one, the fuel economy wasn't AS BAD as I was expecting for a big SUV. I was playing along the lines of 'towering above other motorists' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
