Which is best?
« on: February 04, 2006, 13:28:37 »
I'm looking at the option of buying ( about upto £2500 to spend) a Vitara diesel or a Terrano diesel lwb, but the biggest thing it will proably come down to is the economy as I've been running a Golf tdi for the past 4 years and 55mpg is quite nice, so what kind of mpg figures can I expect and what should I be looking out for?

Easy to obtain parts too
I cant help you on the fuel figures.

Of course it would have to be a Grand Vitara if I want a diesel, or can you get a swb model?

No Idea, but Can't you look into a Disco 300TDi? You can get them for well under £2500.

My vitara, 1600 petrol gives about 25 mpg, but this can go down dramatically if you drive it like a boy racer :D

Other than a L.. L...Landrover..there I've said it now, what choice do I have? Diahatsu ?Shogun ? ? ? Don't forget I've got used to 55+mpg so it's got to be a diesel and not to thirsty.

I had a Brava 2.4td for four years ...its very closely related to the Frintera.  I never had a problem with it, it towend caravanettes out ouf muddy feilds and I never got stuck in it.  I was getting about 28mpg out of it.  My brother in law now has it, its on a v plate and all its ever had is a cam belt and full service once a year.  Good motor.
