Now, I'm in the market for a boxy SUV. I'm from Europe and I have a 8.000 euro budget.
My requirments are :
>Must have 4x4 for heavy snow, potholes and the ocassional mountain trek with mud and gravel.
>Must have a diesel engine that doesn't exceed 2.5L engine capacity because taxes ( the small one ) and insurance ( the big one )
>Must have a manual gearbox
>Must look like a proper SUV : Square and ugly.
>Must be available in Europe
So far the contestants are these :
>Mitsubishi Outlander 2 with the 2.0tdi VW engine or the 2.2 PSA diesel
>Nissan X-Trail 2 with the 2.2dci engine
>Ford Ranger BT-50 2.2 diesel
>Range Rover P38 with BMW 2.5td engine and coil-over conversion.
Which one would you pick ?
X5 3.0 diesel facelift
reliable, sporty, comfy, decent at offroading etc.

i am not op.
Subaru Forester 2.0D
Or a Land Rover Discovery Td5 if you want it even more boxy and utilitarian.
>>16666121
heard that the R51 Pathfinder is plagued with problems

The Pinin has 2 small petrols which seem fine enough for me. Thanks alot for the suggestion !
>>16666288
Never liked the van-style shifter.
>>16666330
Sounds good enough.

Aren't they a reliability nightmare ?
Also i've been considering a Golf 4 estate with AWD that i could lift abit and add a proper shield underneath the engine, since their prices have fallen alot recently.
