[quote][i]Originally posted by evilrob[/i] I've got a 2007 2.8l diesel Jeep Cherokee - had it from 3k, now on nearly 50k. Been spot on. Never broken down, never needed anything other than routine servicing done - with the exception of a recent recall for a potential suspension issue which they sorted out free of charge and lent me a Chrysler Sebring while it was being done. Comfortable if a bit plasticky inside, it costs a fortune to run (not much change from £500 a year tax and returns 18mpg on a good day) - but more importantly it is a complete piece of shit to drive - rolls and bounces all over the place, no idea what's going on at the wheels as you can steer it with your pinky, and has the turning circle of Dawn French on her way home from the all-you-can-eat buffet. It will, however, drive up/over/through practically anything and doesn't break a sweat towing two horses in an Ifor Williams trailer up a muddy hill in the rain. There is something quite satisfying about operating it, though - and I use the word 'operating' deliberately rather than 'driving' - it *feels* like a machine, and that's kind of fun sometimes. You can pick up one of a similar age/mileage for around £6k. The least worst 4x4 I've ever driven was a Mitsubishi Shogun - which essentially drove like a car rather than a tractor.
