it's becoming apparent that finally I could be needing a new motor. my mot is due in august and to be honest a pass is doubtful to say the least. :'(
it will have to be up to lanes, rocks, woods, bogs and commuting.
so after much deliberating the choice has come to either a grand vitara or a oneten.
gv
will have to be lwb 107td they do 40+mpg, the wife likes them and with a lift they will take 31" tyres. will be a newer car so may need less non routine maintenance. will be good for the commuting and most lanes.
oneten
will have to be hard top with 2" lift and 35'' tyres. whilst not as economical it will go mostly anywhere I ask it to, with a bit of thoughtful planning it will double as accommodation as well as transport. will be an older car but can be kept going easier and for less cash.
so what would be the better choice?
