Family car confusion?
Family car confusion?
Im looking to punt my mitsi shogun sport next year and upgrade to something else and im stuck on what to get! I have 2 kids and we are planning for more so im needing something with 7 seats, diesel and around the 20k mark! I love the look of land rover defender 110 but unsure if this would be ok for everyday driving! Ive looked at range rover sports but ive heard they are unreliable? I like the look of an x5 but im wondering what peoples opinions are or what you currently have? cheers
you could get a toyota lucida 4wd for the family! then spent the rest on fixing the capri or another toy?
I bought one a few years back when we had family over for a month worked a treat muche cheaper than hire car!

We bought an X5 in January and its not a bad car, build quality it typical German and everything still works. My biggest problem with it is I see too many of them on the road which kind of takes the shine off.
We had a Range Rover prior to that..... Never again
Have you considered a late Porsche cayenne? Allegedly a lot of the problems associated with the early models have been dealt with and they appear to be very good value for money at the moment.

Ive never heard of a lucida lol im wanting a good car and the capri is the bottom of the list for getting money spent on lol! escort is needing efi turbo engine, r5 gt turbo is needing the door painted and an mot! They are all long term projects ha ha

West Sussex RPU had a new land rover disco delivered last year and it was only in service for 2 days before it went wrong and was away for 4 days.
It has since had a fair few issues that could be put down to the way it's driven but the bmw's and mondeo's don't go wrong nearly half as much given the same treatment.
It would be interesting to know how many parts a landy 110 shares with its toffee nosed brothers and sisters before making a purchase

We had a galaxy for a few years, good car but that was replaced with a discovery 3, the only real issue we have had with it was the handbrake seizing on one side, after beating the disc/drum off it looked like it was caused by either the hold down clip coming off or more than likely a bit of shoe material breaking off.

Right so far ive ruled out the following due to poor reviews, reliability and the way they look
range rover
range rover sport
freelander
navara
discovery
defender
q7
touareg
Im looking at a 2008 x5 that looks quite nice and i like the newer style shoguns as well! 2010 shape!
