one of my friend had one and he got rid of it as it was using way to mutch gas for a tini car he said. he was gona get a falcon or something instead and recond that would use less gas then the terios. he then got a jeep for 1 year and that was to woobley for him so he now got a cdi merc.

Towing, 4WD, and cheap to run dont really go together.

Avoid Mitsi RVR, unless you want to keep your mechanic wealthy and yourself poor. Look at a slightly later model Sukuzi Escudo/Vitara(1997+)with a 4 cylinder engine.

Give us some clues as to much you want to spend!Its pointless suggesting cars when they are out of your price range.Also helps to know if you are using the car to carry kids(ie 2 or 4 kids). Best to look at Toyotas ,Nissans,Hondas but keep away from Mitsis.

toyota rav4s arent to badly priced and not bad on gas and capable of towing as its towed my brothers dead hatsu out of a big hole

Yes i like the rav4s but they have no boot room so i was put off them,, Im looking at a nissan primera on TM ive had a 4x4 one in the past was a good car. I am know going to stay away from the mitzys from what ive been told. thanks everyone:)

Have a look at the Honda CRV, easy to get in and out of, reasonable on gas, biggish boot, (you can lay the back seats down), and will tow a light trailer no problem.536492664
