I need a load-lugger that I can keep for several, hopefully-reliable years. It's got to go all round Britain,including unmade tracks in Scotland, packed to the rafters, possibly pulling a trailor. My preference is for the Kia Sorento or Hyundai Teracan. The X-trail looks a bit flimsy. Should I consider a second-hand Discovery or anything else? Thanks.

The X-Trail is a fine, well-built motor, particularly in diesel version.
But I just got rid of mine after not being able to live with the interior nor the stodgy driving dynamics.
Some issues on the interior (for me, at least) are a disaster.
Make sure you try one for a few days rather than half-an-hour.

Thanks.
I think my word flimsy was a bit harsh. I was actually referring to the interior, the driver's console especially and the amount of day-to-day bashing it could take. I remember seeing one in the Nissan showroom and being concerned.
The interior of the Terracon is admittedly hideous, although even the cheapest Sorrento is quite bearable inside. It doesn't put me off the Hundai though- it's what's most appropriate for the job I have in mind for them.
