Five of the Best 4×4s of 2009
There’s no vehicle that is more well-equipped to get you through the winter season than a 4×4. 4×4s offer great handling, response and grip which Is exactly what you need to get you through the wet and windy winter conditions. This article runs through five of the best 4×4s around!
Vauxhall Antara – The Vauxhall Antara is a stylish car that has a good quality cabin and plenty of space to cope with the needs of large families and all their luggage. It offers quite a sharp and responsive drive and is perhaps not as cheap as some of its rivals. Unfortunately there is only one engine available and it is not as performance-orientated as some other cars, at slow speeds it’s not too noisy in the cabin, but as you hit the motorway the cabin gets a bit louder.
Mazda CX-7 – The CX-7 has extremely sporty looks and has a more distinctive shape compared to the other cars in this list. There’s plenty of room in the cabin and as you’d expect with a Mazda it’s extremely well built and equipped with quality materials. However, this 4×4 isn’t going to suit the automatic fans as it doesn’t come with an automatic option. A down point when buying a 4×4 is tax rates – and this one’s high!
Toyota RAV4 – Most RAV4s have four-wheel drive which makes it extremely handy off-road. It’s strong and well-equipped. If you don’t like your 4×4s too big then this one won’t be for you as it’s slightly bigger than the others. This 4×4 is more about being practical than comfortable – it’s not the best ride!
Land Rover Discovery – You can’t really beat the Discovery, it gives you everything it says it will. There’s enough cabin space to fit seven passengers, and it’s comfortable and classy too. Although it’s expensive to buy and run you do really get what you pay for which is why the Discovery is one of the best 4×4s you can buy. From the cabin the driver will have great visibility, and there are also lots of nifty storage areas to hide all your junk!
Nissan X-Trail – It’s affordable, great for going off-road, and has a great image – it looks mean. It has great ‘body movement’s to cope with bumpy roads and is an enjoyable drive. In terms of practicality it has a big enough boot, it seats 5 passengers and has good visibility. What’s more it’s reliable – the diesel version is recommended by most in the automotive industry.
I hope this article helps you find your dream 4×4!
