Chowyunfatt Turbocharged October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 The new Harrier. There is little glamour in the badge but with such high quality interior, you just don't want to step out of the car. Front not nice ... Macan / Cayenne are the best looking ones. Badge nice or Car nice ... already did that for the past 6 years with a 2nd hand 2L Hyundai Trajet, with a "few mod" done but CG still high Trajet you also can Mod ... You Terror man ... 😂 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny Hypersonic October 28, 2014 Share October 28, 2014 my fav according to budget 1) Peugeot 208 2) harrier (new) 3) macan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlinesix Supersonic October 28, 2014 Share October 28, 2014 I only tried Unimog, Defender, Sahara, Jimmy. Unimog ground clearance and big wheels better for offroad. Defender got struck by tree roots during a joyride. Sahara saw them after they somersaulted. Jimmy almost flipped over during test drive (never consider a Suzuki thereafter). Musing solutions for 4X2 for some off-road holidays, minus the winch mounted onto hardcore 4x4. Drove 4X2 over loose gravel and with some preparations should be able to make it more presentable. MIC got 1.6L model. Ladies like/prefer SUV Once a kid asked her mum: 'is it a toy car' (my Suzuki 800). Defender got 12 speed You meant toy trucks? T11 no 4X4 brought in. Defender is a TRUCK.

Quantum 5th Gear October 28, 2014 Share October 28, 2014 LOL... you've got a point here now more and more SUVs are not pay attention to off-road, Jap/Kor compact SUVs almost give up off-road feature, such as CRV, RAV4, Sorento, Santa Fe etc only FWD, Vitara, Pajero also lost wild, even Conti XC60 also become FWD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum 5th Gear October 28, 2014 Share October 28, 2014 During NS, we consider Class 3 vehicles as cars. If driving over gravel considered off-road, 4X2 FWD can be SUV? Then sedan also can driving over gravel, what different SUV and sedan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virage 1st Gear October 28, 2014 Share October 28, 2014 SUV usually higher ground clearance. With the higher ground clearance, SUV/Crossover also has a higher change to survive flood. I drove a rental Subaru VX in Hokkaido, it was a really great feeling to drive there - there were many narrow, winding paths and they were mostly gravel or dirt roads... I remembered driving along one such road uphill to a lake observatory point (and saw a fox in the wild along the way!)... Just sharing as sometimes having a SUV does add to the fun of driving in some terrain, and inspires more confidence esp. if it rains as well. However, above is hardly applicable in Singapore context - here you pay much more for less enjoyment, just saying ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super7 Turbocharged October 29, 2014 Author Share October 29, 2014 Actually is there a simpler distinction btw SUV n Xover? SUV is halfway between hardcore 4x4, jeep and stationwagon/estate Crossover is one more step close to stationwagon/estate ie halfway between SUV and Stationwagon/estate?? Some brands just increase the ground clearance of their estate/wagon and call it a crossover! Crossovers are usually, but not always, based on the platform of a sedan/wagon, whereas SUVs have stand-alone platfrom, not shared with the estate/wagon. This just my layman interpretation. Subaru:- the legacy outback can be considered the pioneer of crossover, the forestor is a SUV Suzuki :- S-Cross = Crossover, Vitara = SUV some say a crossover is a soft SUV, and a SUV is a soft off-roader / jeep ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
