jcm 2,327 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Think I'm gunna buy one end of year or start of next year looking at something that does reasonable mpg most of all reliability and basically a hardy motor that I can have for a good few year and use as a all round motor town driving aswell as long distance so far from looking around izuzu motors seem to be a decent motor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Newcombe 58 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 They will all do you well. I have an L200 and suits me down to the ground. On my second one now and I wouldn't swap it for anything else to be honest. MPG is killed on mine as it is on Cooper STT mud tyres but that does mean that you don't get stuck which, with the low miles the pickup does I value more! With road tyres on and on a long run it was giving 39mpg on the trip computer which surprised me! If I was you I would set my budget and then see what you can get within that money and choose the best condition, milage, spec etc example that you can and not worry too much about the make!

shepp 2,285 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 On a long run 39 mpg, try short runs and I bet you'll be looking at 25mpg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
