    Petrol: suzuki vitara job done, not the highest of 4x4 but will get you a lot of places. I had a 2.0l 4 cyl one and had heaps of power could tow a trailer and quad easy sit on 100km. The 1600cc goes ok cheap to run.

    you'd be supprised where a zooki will go, I know I am, and very very cheap to run. There biggest draw back is also there biggest advantage the weight, great in the soft stuff as they don't sink but an Achilles heel in deep fast flowing water.

    are the 6cyl ones any good? The 3 door 4cyl ones look the most capable but the xl7 models look to be good for a sleeper platform in the back.

    Imo Dont touch the v6s. The 16g is pretty bullet proof but gutless the efi version is much better.
