LMAO, quality vehicles. Just don't engage 4WD and it'll almost be fine.

For £1000?

Do panda 4x4's have locking diffs? If they did they would be immense in the snow.

A 20 year old one, sure.

I believe the old ones are so rare that you wouldn't even be able to buy one of those for 1k!

Silly budget for a 4x4 IMO.

Tell him to buy a normal car and a set of balls

There was something about being 4wd though

Yes the GTO was produced in 4WD. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_GTO

No, viscous coupling - which is pretty much ideal for snow.

My partners Suzuki Ignis 4grip is pretty handy in the show. Again, lightweight with a viscous coupling.

Not really?

There's been plenty of suggestions for the money so far in this thread. They might not seem all that impressive when compared to a cayenne but for the rough and tumble stuff and the odd dusting of snow they are alright

You might get a tired out Daihatsu Terios for that money or a rough Fourtrak.

Problem is, for someone bothered about reliability, as the OPs friend apparently is.... They're all going to be a headache

Dang. I knew there was a catch

iaind, not the Cherokee

I know theyre probably the best suggestion here, but seriously? Surely they're still going to cost a fair bit to run?

Lashout_UK · 30 Nov 2010 at 20:05

Fuel wise, yea, that's about it

Land Rover Discovery?

We use it for driving around where my girlfriend keeps her horses, it was ace in the snow last year!

We tied sledges to the back of it and went sledging uphill through the fields!

For 1K?

What is it with you, why do you need to be CONSTANTLY spoon fed information in every thread instead of just looking for yourself?

Its a perfectly valid point. You won't get a decent Discovery for £1k, we've already discussed this.

Yes, I looked on PH, like the OP could have. I'd rather have botulism than a sub 1k Discovery.

If you don't like it then don't post..Its a discussion forum in motors
