I have a Landcruiser ...

There is a reason one sees so many Toyota Landcruisers in the Australian Outback and on safari in Africa.

An interesting topic, cheers folks - we have gone for the Honda CRV (settled by a good trade in on Golf and an Almera)

Reliability won over effectiveness of pure off road ability - just hope i haven't bought a dud!!!

Thanks everyone

I had my CRV for 4 years, and used it on very varied summer and winter roads here in the High North. Not an offroad car, but plenty good for lousy backroads and snow and ice.

Never a tecnically problem of any sort.
