You don't need 4WD with winter tyres on. It's better but not required. Our 530d m sport has ploughed it's way through snow as happily as any 4WD has this year.
If it's clearance you're after, I'd look at the Volvo XC70. It's lovely inside, can carry serious loads and will get through anything.
I'll have a cheap XC90 4.4 V8 going up for sale soon
If you want a 4WD estate I would look at the Subaru or Audi models both have a good mix of performance and durability
Sorry Tapatalk on mobile sent twice.
LOL...will be one of my easiest sells this one. They're pretty rare & this will be far the cheapest I've seen at less than 6k.and here was me thinking you were getting desperate to sell
Now looking at things as diverse as an Audi A6 Allroad to something I never thought I would consider buying, a Porsche Cayenne 4.5S......
I considered the big Audi but there are so many up here I eventually went for the 3.2 fugly mainly because of the fear of the bore score issue with the bigger engine. A bit slower than the bigger engine but ticks all the other boxes. Have to say it is not marci, but I am enjoying it. London Parking dings now fixed and wheels/calipers refurbed so just the removable tow bar to be fitted next week and a detail and she will be up to a standard I am happy with. My daily commute is mainly single carriageway for 40 miles so managing 26 mpg, not great but she is two tonne!
Just run in...203k Full Fawcett's Volvo main supplying dealer history from new. Serviced every 12 months. Brand new Volvo gearbox done at the main dealer 2015 for circa 5k. Nice cheap all in one car for someone.Not even heard of a V8 one Rockits so must be rare. How many miles on her buddy ?
Odd question Greg. I have the tow bar from a Touareg kicking about in the shed. I forgot to give it to the new owner when I sold it some time years ago. It's just the actual cast iron piece which simply slotted in once a little panel was removed from the lower rear bumper. As the Cayenne is basically the same, I wonder if this part might be of use to you?
the Discovery I had could cope but the 2 wheel drive cars just can't,
Two wheel drive on the correct tyres will always beat four wheel drive on the wrong ones.
