First you have to define what you mean by "Bang per Buck"
What are you wanting to use the car for?
I will try to explain, I have had V12 jags, Vans, R5's, Daf 44's (which was huge fun actually! anybody who knows what a Daf is please tell me

) and several others (Mostly jags) but including Range/Land rovers
Out of all this I have to say my current vehicle stands head and shoulders above
all of them!
She is a 1994 Land-cruiser VX (4.2TD)
I have to say She is the best vehicle I will
ever own!
She is....
A Luxury long distance cruiser. As comfortable as any high end saloon!
A truck, I have had a ton of bricks in the back! Nooo Problem! (And yes I DO mean a ton!)
A Minibus, (I did an old friend thing earlier in the year, I could carry 8 people in comfort! )
Not
too bad on the economy! (Yeah, OK a 2.5ton vehicle is never going to be good, especially around town (18/22) but on long journeys where I can maintain a reasonably conservative and constant speed (I tend to stick to about 53) I can get high thirties as MPG!)
She is not high performance as such, But she can pick up her Skirts and run when required!
She is technically very simple, so very easy to maintain (That is important to me)
She is even a Fanny Magnet! (I have several lady's of my acquaintance who get the metaphorical "Wet Knickers" from being given a ride in her,

I never even got that from the V12!

)
What more could anybody possibly want from a vehicle??
Really?
