I think the RR has to go, mainly due to the fuel consumption & it is a
bit on the big side for what we need, so I am looking to buy a smaller
4x4 (I HATE the term 'soft-roader'), around
an 02 or 03 model, price around £8k (on ebay!). Initially the Honda
was my
favourite, but after having a sit in one I found it rather bland,
certainly compared to the Kia. But then again, the Kia interior seemed
a bit flimsy & I am worried about how it will cope with kids/dogs/etc.
The Freelander seems a bit basic & expensive for what you get.
Any comments / suggestions?
Cheers.

They drink fuel.

....and you definitely dont want an automatic version unless you want
to keep replacing them!!

Or do 300k with one and just change the fluid every other service?

The CR-V was just voted most reliable small 4x4 with the Forester 2nd
If boot space means a lot, go for the Forester
