The diesel 4x4 wagons are OKish here . 
Well , kinda , I bought mine second hand and have only had it dragging the 
caravan around Australia 4 times , now I got to replace the clutch and the 
front axel boots .I would have expected better , I paid near on $7000 for 
it , and its packing up after only 200,000 kms of holidaying ......

It still gets 800 km to 70 liters average though , not towing anything .
Them turboed 4cyls may be not the gruntiest thing around , but they cheap 
enough to run .
