Mongol Rally suggestions..

[tres]

Oooh. I've never really been in this part of the forum. Seems new.. somewhat scary..

Anyway, as you guys know a lot about this..

Can you give me your opinions for which car you'd take along for the Mongol Rally?

Rules:

1.2 litre or less (maybe stretch to 1.3 and pay the fine)
Less than 10 years old
Comfortable enough for 3 blokes and stuff, roof rack etc.
Relatively fuel efficient
RELIABLE!

We're looking at everything from Dihatsu Hijets to Siecentos, but would love some other opinions.

Many thanks!

taking part, the actual car we'd drive

and something like £100, nothing too bad for the extra 0.1l!

It's not a race rally.. we're not aiming to be the fastest at all. People do it in 2CVs!

and no real budget, just nothing too bad, as we'll be leaving the car there when it's over
