Sweeney 316 Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Im looking at getting a bigger 4x4 as the jimnys 1.3 engine just isnt big enough for motorway journeys. Theres a 2l grand vitara come up but im not sure if the boot will be big enough for 2 lurchers?? Jimny boot size is brilliant as i took the seats out but i also need back seats now.

Blackdog92 2,047 Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 my aunty has one they arent a huge boot it depends if your lurchers are whippet x's or deerhound x's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

baz 463 Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I've just got a vitara, it's cosy but I get two labs and black fluffy happy thing in back of mine.. If I had to travel far with the tho , think the seats would be coming down Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lord verminator 73 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 I have vitara 1.6 for dogs, with the seats down can get 2 lurchers in easy or a double terrier box plus a lurcher and all tackle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweeney 316 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Ive been looking and it looks like the newer shape grand vitara 06 onwards has a significantly larger boot to the shape before?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slipper 116 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I had one a 2000 model 2.0 l td bloody brilliant went anywhere really comfy got 75 rabbits in the boot one night but the boot was small Not bad on juice either only parted with it because some somalian taxi driver wrote it off when he drove straight into me ( after I spent 500 quid on welding and painting) that was my only gripe was the body work but engine was great Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waz 4,252 Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Going to look at a 2.0hdi Vitara later 2001 model, how often do the cam belts need doing on these & how much is it at a garage to do it. Another things to look out for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moorside 642 Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Have you considered a Nissan xtrail?, theyve got a very good size boot and from the road tests ive seen theyre better off road than all the other 'soft roaders'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,784 Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Have you considered a Nissan xtrail?, theyve got a very good size boot and from the road tests ive seen theyre better off road than all the other 'soft roaders'. They're a good compromise, I used mine for towing the quad and trailer but would need road tyres changing for any more than light off road use. Cheers, D. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
