Tall order I know but let's have a go. My sister who lives at the end of a rough track in a very hilly part of Italy needs to buy (in the UK) the above?
I have told her it's mad but she is where she is.
She is considering a Mitsubishi Shogun/Pajero - all the ones I have looked at look like time they are disasters in the making - ancient diesels, complex, with auto gearboxes waiting to go wrong.
I have suggested the Mazda MPV - a 2000 year car can be had in budget. It has the 2 litre petrol engine - a far better bet IMO - although poor MPG nd may struggle up the hills 7 up
Others that spring to mind are the Fiat Doble - easy to fix in Italy - not many 7 searters in budget.
The Toyota Avensis Verso the same - but reliable.
Ideally she wants a diesel as it is much cheaper in Italy than petrol, but no good if it goes kaput. I feel petrol is the way to go.
Any others I have missed - anyone got any suggestions?
thanks
