Re: Suitable small car for occasional off-road use
I've got an old Jeep Cherokee; not great MPG (25-30), but cheap to buy, comfortable on road and capable off it.
"..there has seldom if ever been a shortage of eager young males prepared to kill and die to preserve the security, comfort and prejudices of their elders, and what you call heroism is just an expression of this simple fact; there is never a scarcity of idiots."

I know of a Belted chap that swears by them, rather than the usual Discos etc.

Thanks one and all, some useful suggestions.

Say goodbye to radiator problems, faulty central locking and stuck window mechanisms."Hurrah for the Works Group" just doesn't have the same ring...

So, a TA battalion or nine Regular Guards battalions? Not a difficult choice, then (especially as we don't have nine Regular Guards battalions).

Discovery 300TDi..ran mine on chip fat/veg oil/home made biodiesel...no modifications to the engine at all.
Comfortable, commanding driving position, great on and off road and good access to the rear.... and great for towing boats/horse boxes.
As said, Suburu Forrester/Outback and even 5 door Impreza are favourites with the famers round here.
An off the cuff suggestion, a Skoda Octavia 4x4...supprisingly good, and cheap!
Everything else has far too much plastic trim that gets damaged!
Oh..a few cheap Freelanders about now...dont get a petrol, but the diesels are good, if main dealer serviced.

Lada Niva - the poor man's Range Rover. Had a couple in Africa. Much more comfortable than a Defender and practically bombproof.
Brigadier Bill Aldridge, commander of British forces in the South Atlantic, responded by saying: ‘I am not expecting to hand the islands over to anybody and therefore put us in a position to have to retake the islands.’

Lada Niva Cossak! Honestly, they are robust, simple and good off road, if not so good on road.
