Lennyman buys Another great 4x4

Advantages: Great all-round performance, style and gadgets
Disadvantages: The SWB version is too small for shopping at Tesco's

...-wise, this easily competes with most 2.0litre saloon cars. In relation to Off-Road use; This vehicle is a favourite amongst "green-laners", and is often seen covered in mud! The gearbox has 2/4 wheel shift, with 'Diff-lock' and suspension height-adjustment. The reliability of the vehicle is obviously very good (as are almost all Japanese motors), and servicing costs are not much higher than a normal saloon car. All-in-all, I would definitely recommend this car as a great all-rounder, with classic 4x4 looks, but as stated before, would definitely go for the LWB version....

Review of Mitsubishi Pajero 4x4 Import

Save The 4x4 - It's As Important As A Whale!

Advantages: 4x4 Vehicles Are As Needed By Some As Smart Cars Are By Others
Disadvantages: Needless Government Taxation

...a bit larger than the poor farmer's Land Rover Defender. Yet the newspapers are having a field day calling for the culling of so-called 4x4 cars. Gordon Brown proposes ridiculous rates of tax for 4x4 vehicles and Ken Livingstone has announced that Transport For London are to implement a £25 a day charge for such vehicles entering London as opposed to the everyday £8 charge currently in place. How can this work? After all, my Jeep Grand Cherokee is actually classed, according to the documents issued to me by the DVLA, as an Estate car. This does not make it a 4x4, or an off-roader, or an SUV - the appellations commonly given to this type of vehicle. Therefore, it is all but impossible for the government to target my vehicle in such a manner. The only way to do it - as has now been admitted - is to target it on its CO2 emissions, which...

Review of Should 4x4 Cars Be Banned?

Honda 4x4

Advantages: Lots of space
Disadvantages: Would you use it to 4X4

...better if it was a split boot with one part moving up and the other part down. This car can be very expensive if you are buying new as all Hondas are but I would advise you to get an ex model car as these have been driven by a lot of people but have a lot of extra features and are usually priced well, and if you can haggle you will be able to get the price down a nice bit. This handles on the road; the speed really kicks in after 40, but no idea what it would handle like on a 4X4 track. Very good safety rating. Now for the specifics about the car, I have had to do some research into this as I feel if the car goes when I want it to go and stop when I want it to stop its good enough but here it goes. Fuel- Unleaded Miles per gallon- 31 6-disk CD change Price- customer paid £13000 but had some extras Model: Honda CR-V 2.0i ES...

4x4 Evolution

Advantages: many
Disadvantages: few

...4x4 Evolution, hasn't really evolved at all from the old style of 4x4 trucking games, although it has a superb start up, the game is just one long boring road, much like 4 Wheel Thunder. The developers Terminal Reality have obviously tried to add a spark of originality and innovation into the game, but unfortunately, as with many Dreamcast racing games, this one is a right bore. Boring circuits - they couldn't even be bothered to design them with interesting layouts - some will put you to sleep! The 4x4 vehicles look ok, but most handle like hyper active elephants - very hard to control, awful turning and a disappointing sensation of realism and proportion. Graphically it's ok, nothing more, nothing less - they're better than PlayStation graphics, obviously - the DC is a 128bit console, but the game just doesn't feel right - it's not...

Review of 4x4 Evolution (PS2)

4X4 Evolution is great

Advantages: Completely modifiable 4X4 vehicles that can be changed to fit your specific needs
Disadvantages: Not enough tracks to race on

...This game is absolutly amazing! After playing the game for almost a week, I've come to the following conclusions. The Graphics are completely astounding, and really help make you feel like you're truly behind the wheel of a souped up 4X4! The SFX are great. 4X4 EVO features every type of sound imaginable, including: enviornment, skidding, acceleration, car horns, and the "thump thump crash" of driving across a sand dune at 80 MPH towards a checkpoint! One of the greatest aspects of 4X4 Evolution is the "go anywhere" style the developers approached the game with. Sure, you could follow the predesigned paths and roads, but why not experiment with all different types of routes that you can take to win the race? Driving over mountains, through forests, through streams and off bridges is a great deal of fun that really adds to...

Verbatim DVD+RW 4X never fail

Advantages: reliable, every disc works, long shelf life
Disadvantages: Pricy

...I bought the first batch of Verbatim DVD+RW from Amazon in 2004 and then bought some more in 2006 from DigiUK.com. Reliability They are used as re-writable disc for temporarily storing holiday photos, documents, electronic statements/bills etc until nearly a DVD full --> burn into DVD+/-R disc. Also, they are temporary recording of TV programmes using my DVD recorder. Most of them are used regularly since 2004. Almost 5 years on none of them shows any sign of failure. Everything is still retrievable e.g. one directory of my photos taken back in Dec 2004 and stored in a pair of them (double backup) are still okay. I can copy all the photos to my PC and still can see them (both discs tried to make sure). Therefore these discs can last for more than 4 years from the date of purchase, with the date of manufacture well before...

My 4x4

Advantages: very confortable
Disadvantages: parts expencive

...Hi! The ssangyong musso is manufactured by the south Korean automobile manufacturer ( SSANG YONG MOTOR COMPANY ). It was first produced in 1993 with Mercedes petrol or diesel engine. We bought a 1996 2.9 diesel ssangyong musso about six months ago of my husband cousin. The car had the six months test and he assume us that there is not much wrong with the car. He just wont it to sell it or crush it because he was needed spaces for the new car. When we bought the car we have been told that there is diesel lick from the tank and breaks are sticking but my husband got his knowledge about cars and said that nothing, he can fix it. And as well the car been stud on his driveway for last four months when the leak started. So we bough it -the deal was great only £250.ok!

Review of Ssangyong Musso

A 4x4 for All

Advantages: Easy to manoeuvre, fashionable, very economical and cheap.
Disadvantages: Lack of room in boot and not a great grip on wet tarmac.

...what to purchase. After a couple of weeks of shopping around I decided to buy a Jimny. I bought a red Jimny. ****Is the Car Economical******* The Jimny is a 16V, 1.3 size engine. At the time a 1.3 was the biggest size available for the Jimny. Being a new model, it had recently taken over the Suzuki Vitara. The Jimny is a city 4x4, which means that it does not drink Petrol like there is no tomorrow. It runs like a car on tarmac surfaces but can be used for 4x4 driving when needed. The Jimny has an extra gear stick for 4x4 driving so you can use it for two different types of driving. I personally know people who drive their Vitara's and Jimny's on very tough 4x4 courses and they cope very well. However, these people are mechanics in the day so they are good at fixing the exterior of the cars, which makes them road worthy by day...

* Vauxhall Brava Boob job .

Advantages: Cheap, decent site pickup.
Disadvantages: No longer made.

...than Isuzu in fact. The AA (Automobile Association, not the other one) used hundreds of these, all with their own custom bodies. They were also used by HM Coastguard and many more large organisations. 4x2 - let me just explain what this means, the vehicle has four wheels, and two of them, in this case the rear ones, are driven. A 4x4 version would be four wheel drive of course. Double cab - I will expain this, it has two rows of seats, one in front of the other, just like a saloon car, with the main luggage area behind. This area can be left exposed, or be covered up by a fibre glass Truckman top. - There are enough seats for five. This double cab was officially called the S cab. The engine is an Isuzu Diesel unit, easy to do level checks on, and there does appear to be lots of room to work on it. Gearbox is not the best I have...
