Filled my old bus up with fuel today. 41.1 mpg across the last tank. Happy enough with that for sure.

GR Yaris (must admit I thought it was an Aygo at first)…a very different beast. But a much more sensible urban 4x4.

We own a 2018 Subaru Forester. It’s large-ish, not huge. AWD and the ground clearance os 8.7 inches (22 cm). Bought it because we live on a 1/2 mile long gravel lane to the nearest road. When it snows, it’s the only vehicle that can get out. Our other car is a Honda Fit, and it sits quietly while the Subaru does the work.

Nice motors indeed, but expensive. I have looked at them on more than one occasion and been frightened off by the price tag and the lack of relatives willing to buy one for me.

2 out of 10 there, you've missed the outside and the door sils.Had some complaints from the extended family on the cleanse of family wagon after some Xmas trips out.
Luckily thanks to the magic of plastic leather, even after 50K miles a quick wipe and hover has it looking 'as new' despite a white interior + family usage.

They only complained about the interior not the sheet metal
Infact I don't think I have washed the car since July, and there is no point washing the exterior now, it'll just dirty again in 5 minutes. Luckily the car is used for urban duties and ceramic coating on it helps to a degree to keep it clean. It could look far worse!

Possibly the last Land-Cruiser I really liked; the 'B60'
4-litre, straight-6 diesel
24 volt electrics!!
I think the Aussie market got a petrol V8?

Im off to Manchester in a Porsche Macan tomorrow. I'm expecting time to warp and for us to arrive before we even leave.
Hold on isn't this thread about LARGE SUVs??!!
A Macan isn't a large SUV is it? Its barely bigger than a Focus interms of practicality
It is but Drago mentioned a Macan and it reminded me of the very large Ford Ranger that was chopped in for one that is all . As you were .Hold on isn't this thread about LARGE SUVs??!!

Okay, it's certainly not sensible/logical, & undoubtedly far too big for UK roads
But........ how about the Diesel Brothers (aka 'Sparks Motors') Mega-Ram, as a SUV?
EDIT @ 18:47
To help to give some idea of the size, it's running on 44" (diameter) tyres
