Best 4x4 for 20K .

that RR evoque is the ugliest rear end i ever seen (apart from diane abbott).

You need to look over your shoulder next time you walk past a mirror, Spoon says Diane Abbott is like Naomi Cambell compared to you........

I like the look of the Toyota Land cruiser but for 20k you don't get much

Hyundai Santa-Fe? Could prob pick up a premium SE on a 16-17 plate, under 15K miles with still 3-4 years warranty left on it.

Yep agree, but I have looked at one and the boot space is small, I have 2 dogs who need space in the back, the SF is too small in the back and I am not sure of the towing ability Lee.

Don’t caravan-magazines do reviews that cover this sort of stuff?

 

[MDJ]

Yes they recommend the Kia sorento, but I don't like them, I find asking people about their experiences is better than a magazines view, especially as it is written by one person with a view, not a dozen people who have actually owned a 4x4.

Do you get the Toyota Fortuner in the UK? Sounds like it might fit your bill...

Lexus 400H - 3.3 petrol / hybrid. 30 to gallon, goes like ---- of a shovel, loads of torque, good in snow. Have had one from new (2008) 160k on clock and so far the only issues I’ve had is normal wear an tear on brakes. Over engineered for US market I’m told.

Have a look at a Kia Sportage, looks quite sporty, handles really well and you get the rest of the 7 year warranty if its used. can get a 16 plate from a kia dealership for between 16 and 20k I almost got one, but it wouldnt fit in my parking space in the car park!!. so ended up with a kia rio instead.

Neighbour has a non Hybrid Lexus they do look like great cars and will outlast a RR.

The 450H is the current guise and slightly bigger. No idea on used prices but they have been out a few years now.

Can get a half-decent RR for £20k mate.

No,no,no...get an older one,and know you are taking a punt,or a new one,and get ready to use that warranty,but at 20G,you're at the casino
Got dozens of friends and associates,who had TDV6's,and felt like Bernie Madoff was the dealer...

Cheers Pal, I have heard, and I may be wrong, but they have issues and cost a lot to run, I was thinking about a Shogun?

Get a 2011/2012 4.4l V8 diesel V8.

 

[Nigel]

I'm thinking something like this https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201807098291350?model=SHOGUN&price-to=20000&radius=1500&make=MITSUBISHI&price-from=14000&transmission=Automatic&postcode=gl33hr&advertising-location=at_cars&year-from=2013&sort=price-desc&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=New&page=1

No chance.

For 20k I would look at the Range Rover evoque. If you could stretch a bit further then I’d look a the Jag F-Pace.

I'd been considering buy a Discovery Sport (when I used to be rich ).

However it would seem they (and the Evoque) have a nasty little design issue, oil dilution with their diesel engines. So I wouldn't touch a used one with a barge pole.

The F-Pace, which has a similar engine, doesn't have the issue as the engine is not mounted transversally.
