Although I am now a Dacia Duster owner, over the years I have been privileged to drive many different 4X4 vehicles both owned and at my work. However there is only one that I would love to own, but I would need to win the lottery to afford to buy a decent one, insure it and fuel it. The Landrover 101. The vehicle really is a joy to drive and ofcourse, converted into a Camper Van, it will take you anywhere.

I have one of the first model Nissan x trails. Absolutely brilliant car and can be picked up for not much money. Unfortunately they are a bit high one the road tax at 265 a year

They look nice yes Roscopecotrain but they have become a school run vehicle rather than a capable 4 wheel drive. They have fitted the new one with a puney 1.6 and no 4 wheel drive option. The x trail has been a hugely popular towing vehicle for years but unfortunately they have removed themselves from that market now

I'm not surprised that's all you get Roscopecotrain. I had a golf gti before the x trail and struggled to get 30

Looks good Greg. Which model is it? I have the Ambiance but if I was going for a new one, I'd go for the Laureate.

At 6' 4", I found that my right knee was bumping on the corner of the door speaker but I solved that by taping a sponge over the corner. Also, because the door frame outside, runs around the door (you will see what I mean when you see it), I bought a set of side window wind deflectors which stops any rain coming in when I have the windows open and inch or two. I was a bit disappointed by the lack of storage space in the front of the Duster, but then my last car was a Scenic and it had oodles of drawers and cubby holes all over the place. Overall, I am still as pleased as Punch with the Duster and when the ashtray is full in this one, I will buy another. Damm it to hell. Just remembered I no longer smoke!!!!!
