What Off-roader would you suggest ...

[LandyMan]

Define off-road. Some people just want to drive on some roughish roads etc and if that was the case I would get something like a Rav or CRV.

I'm talking about the OP's friend.

is it not the other way around. i don't know why Defender drivers think a jeep wrangler will not follow. in fact i think a Defender will go to almost every where i go...

i will show you a thing or two...http://www.4x4community.co.za/forum/showpost.php?p=379196&postcount=332

I know ... but per pictures, that's why I recommended the Jeep

No, it is not the other way around ... I haven't heard anything good about the Wrangler's off-road performance, so of course I was sceptical ... but was pleasantly surprised.

Funny, that I see the Jeep only in shallow water, and the Landy in deep water

hahaha. dude we should make a date and play and you will be surprised

and the reason you only see the jeep in shallow water is because i was the one taking the photos, they have photo's of the jeep in deep water

+1 for Subaru Forester. Flippin amazing vehicles. Not for hardcore offroading but a real good all rounder that can drive on the sand, snow, gravel and dirt.

+1

I know of someone who took their Forester to the Richtersveld. And had no issues other than ground clearance, which required some careful maneuvering.

... for a middle-aged lady who wants to have something to commute in but also something that isn't useless off-road.

Go for a military surplus ‘Hyena’ vehicle. Not particularly green but as a bonus it is mine-resistant and armoured. An excellent anti-taxi vehicle – you will always be able to out-bluff a taxi.

Go for a military surplus ‘Hyena’ vehicle.

It also has those thick, green-tinted bullet-proof windows. The driver can sneer at any would-be hijackers and smash ‘n grab artists as they battle to get in. An ideal commuting vehicle.

The legend of Betsie.

Daihatsu Terios.

Brilliant article in the Leisure wheels about two ladies that went with all big boys. The “4x4 men still talk about the legend of Betsy.

 

[koeks]

which issue was it the November one?... but for R300k there are a lot of choices... and i would not go for the Terios... something more comfortable and luxurious, as well as very capable off road... Fortuner, JEEPs, Pajero, etc... you name it

My colleague has her eyes set on a Freelander diesel.

jah. Except you take it off-road, drive through a puddle and kill the engine. Only to find out later from VWSA that the V10 has lower airboxes than other Tregs and a pipe that connects to the air intake below the water line: http://www.4x4community.co.za/forum/showthread.php?t=24957 & http://www.4x4community.co.za/forum/showthread.php?t=25770&highlight=touareg+stuck.
