It's very early days but I'm thinking about getting a 4x4 and if I do I'd like to buy British (even if it's annoyingly made in Austria) and I'm specifically looking at an Evoque or one of the Jag options. It'll be 4x4, auto box and petrol and under £50K ... assuming that the greener options aren't a real world proposition for me when I buy.
Just a bit of history.
I used to be really into cars and specifically small open cars and then I decided to try something different and decided to go for a larger saloon. After trying a few of the usual suspects, Merc, BMW, Audi... I spotted a 3 year old 4ltr Jag S and bought it the theory being I could sell it on if I couldn't settle with it and lose a lot less than I would on a new one. I did like that car but eventually the sports car bug bit again so I sold it on after 3 years or so.
So, I've done sports cars to death, a family member gave me a hatch back when they gave up driving so I've done that too, I've done the big saloon and when I had company cars I did the run of the mill saloon thing so the 4x4 experience is left. I wont be climbing any mountains in it, it'll just be a different driving and owning experience for a car fan, something I haven't owned yet
I did think about a car style 4x4 years ago and test drove a couple of Subaru's but I think this time if I do go for a 4x4 it'll be the full on SUV style rather than a car style one. But I don't know much about them so if there are any 4x4 aficionados here is there any reason why I should go for one over the other?
