What 4x4 to get for a young driver??

[Pat Ferrett]

Go old school and get a SJ410 loads of aftermarket boltons, I bought mine for £150 three years ago, the most I've spent on it is £40 for a gerry can and holder that I use as a petrol tank.

Cheap tax cheap insurance go anywhere

If you put proper mud tyres on a Corsa or a 106 it totally transforms them. Plenty good enough if you're just a cutter wanting to go down forest tracks- just carry a hand winch in case. PM me if you want a good supplier of tyres. Trust me when i say the Corsa WILL take the abuse- I finally managed to kill mine by putting it in a river. You can pick up diesel ones with MOT in good nick for £500 if you look around. Don't discount them, they're by far the cheapest option. If you REALLY need 4x4 then maybe look at a cheap quad to tow behind.

 

Otherwise a Diahatsu Fourtrak is an insurance group seven. Miles more practical than an SJ, as good on fuel (I've had both) and the 2.8 turbo pulls like a train. Obviously, as you'll only be towing 750KG that doesn't matter......

 

What exactly will you be doing with the car?
