lone wolf 0 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 iam sure this topic will have been dealt with in the passed,but with fuel prices now being very different i thought i may get a different view.i had a van for work and a frontera sport for hunting which with the price of fuel rising and everything else i decided that i would get rid of both and buy an estate.i opted for a volvo v40 which has been excellent good mpg for work but sadly does'nt do it for hunting its to low on the farmers tracks and with winter coming i could do with something i can rely on to get me off the grass and out of the mud,so in short i want to know what you think may be the best all rounder for me ie.fuel for work, ruggedness for hunting.
