    Getting very fed up of the combination of 18" wheels and sports suspension with the increasingly crap roads so am looking at changing to a smallish diesel SUV. Preferrably no higher than Band d tax and around the mid €30k.

    Reliability is key so I'm looking at advice from owners only please

    Quickly run along to a Mitsubishi dealer and see if they have any Outlander 2.0 D-ID Invite models available at €24,995.

    Tax is Band E, but it's pretty damn cheap comapred to the competition. Set aside the €5,000 you save to pay the €183 tax difference for a few years and put a full leather interior in.

    I don't have one, but had a commercial version for a week. Not really my cup of tea as it's too off road to be a car, and too car to be an off roader, but the Mitsi's are usually realiable, the engine is the VW 2.0Tdi (PD version) which pulls fairly well and returns decent mpg.

    €25k.:eek:..bloody hell had to check that for myself. Thats a great price. Will deffo arrange a look. Don't care a damn about handling. Just want something that will handle a rough road without sounding like its about to fall apart and is reliable
