I wouldn't of thought so as it's under 2000cc but then again being a 4x4.... but it's not exactly a Chelsea tractor is it?

This kind of car would present a problem in a blanket ban of all 4x4's. There are quite a few small cars such as the Panda and subaru justy which are the same size as a standard supermini but 4wd, whereas a 7 series beemer is twice the size drinks loads more fuel but is only 2wd.

Thing is though, it's a myth that cars are being persecuted for having four-wheel drive, even by Ken. That's a nice tabloid story to 'prove' how silly it is to ban 4x4s (by quoting the Panda et al).

The truth is, Ken spoke out against LARGE vehicles (yes, he probably called them 4x4s as that's what they're generically known as) as being unsuitable for the packed streets of London. Furthermore, he proposes to tax the eyeballs off HIGH CO2 EMITTING cars. Whether or not you agree or disagree with his policy, the fact is he has never specifically mentioned the number of driven wheels as being a problem.

Boycott shoddy build, OK. But boycott reliability? What are you Mattster, some kind of anarchist?
