Hmm Lets hear your opinions:(SUV content)

How about more euro offered cars - Renault makes this:


Dacia Duster. Produced in Romania, price 12000 USD new (for Europe that's dirt cheap for a new car). As much as I hate the looks, from technical point of view it's the same car as Nissan Qashqai (which costs almost twice as much):

They no longer sell Land Rover Defenders in the US because they do not meet the safty qualifications.

Really? Even new built ones? That's.... quite surprising given they are sold all over Europe, where safety regulations are pretty strict...

I would love to have one but it would have to be a diesel because the rover v8 is a shitty outdated engine.

Rover V8 is actually a really good engine. They do have a craving for gas though. Outdated - yes. Shitty - most definately no.

But hey - rover is no longer making it's own V8's so there is a chance for a more modern engine for those cars.

Well you are in luck the they are now using Jags V8, diesel is still a good option.

Toyota Sequoia SR5

4.7l V8 found in the lexus gx470 and lx470. Room for 8 passengers, Toyota reliability and it also gets 16mpg(atleast my dad does) Much nicer in my opinion then some american SUV that will fall apart in a few years.

yeah, that family car of a trailblazer is teh sex... gtfo. But you are in Alberta so maybe things are different.

P38's are the e30's of SUV's as far as looks go. But to each their own, opinions.

[bimmer_E30]

they are ugly and not reliable.

[10Toes]

You can get P38 Range Rovers cheap. I got my last one for $2500

[bimmer_E30]

Lol.

the SS was ok, but the interior is ugly compared to the srt-8.

Quoting myself - sorry.

Just want to ask a question - are these offered in States?

It has the look of being very utility minded. I like it.

no cause they look like ass. Why are you guys so obsessed with going fast in a suv? The subaru has potential for easily 250 hp, and is lighter than a subaru sti... In all seriousness if you want a real suv then get a tahoe.

+1

A BMW X5 is potentially a good choice, but not for someone going into their 20's. Living within your means isn't too easy on something that could potentially break the bank. Look at what you can really afford, plus the upkeep on.

A 98-02 Forester (non turbo) can do what many SUVs can do off road, hold enough, and will last. Plus they are cheap. An 03+ Forester (XT is the turbo version) has a much nicer interior and non-turbo versions are easily found under 14k, hell even 10k. XT's are obviously a little more. 08 XT Sports (like the blue one posted) are going to be a little more still. Of course purpose built trucks will go more places off road but if you're smart off road you'd be surprised at what these "wagons" will do. Obviously I've researched these some, an XT is most likely my next DD. I think they can be sexy, but that's me and I'm looking more into the basic needs and things I don't need from a full size. 09+ look like any other crossover out there, Subaru messed up there adding too much to the utilitarianism of the Forester but I'm sure it still sells reasonably well.
