Cankles-McJeggings Jeep are the same. Absolute pipe.

Interested to see why you down voted this hursty, are you a Jeep owner? Jeeps are renowned for having all kinds of ridiculous and often major electric faults. They are all well known to leak which inturn causes electrical faults. I know someone who bought his wife one as a present , it was an absolute disaster. I think Jeep actually took it back and gave her a refund. From memory there was things like the windscreen wipers coming on when indicating and it was full of water every time it rained. They had it in countless times then just gave up themselves. I also know someone who owns a car rental company and they had a few wranglers and they were all exactly the same. He ran them for a year and gave them up because they were always in the garage getting fixed. The parts here are also a nightmare to get an often have to come from America after being ordered sometimes taking months.

Cankles-McJeggings The KIA guy and VW guy had the same thing to say, if you’re not doing beginners level 4X4 off-roading and tough terrain, don’t bother with the Jeep.

Hursty

Cankles-McJeggings I didn’t down vote anything lol

Hursty Might be wrong here, pretty much the same as the Seltos.

Very close to pulling the trigger.

Dubman lol. Or I could go with the Tata Jaguar. 😛

Have you been in nano. Don’t know how it passed safety standards. But I can see the market though. A cheap small car for people. I did used to see a lot of Suzuki cars on the road. I know German cars are off the menu due to the massive import taxes.

Dubman haha Never been, and never will. With all the trucks here, that thing is a coffin basically.

The first car I moved back to India was a Maruti Suzuki Alto. Still get sentimental about that thing, used to call it the Smurf Mobile. Maruti Suzuki has a brilliant reputation here; bang for your buck, extremely durable (built for Indian roads) and probably the best after sales service compared to any other brand. Pretty much got 100% of what I paid brand new, after 8 years of use, when I swapped it out for the Hyundai Verna. Resale value was amazing.

Computer says yes.

I have a Qashqai and I gotta say it’s the most reliable and hassle free car I have ever owned. Very comfortable, good on fuel, I guess there is a reason that there are so many on UK roads.

Hursty

Cankles-McJeggings Must have been a slip of the mouse. Definitely not a Jeep fan, infact one of the guys has a lime green Renegade, claims its his Mrs’, rest assured we absolutely rinse him daily for driving it.

rhouses If it was me i’d get something with a decent manufactures warranty such as Kia/Hyundai as you daily driver, then try and save a few grand and buy a weekend runabout for the fun factor. You can pick up a decent Z4 with a 6 cylinder engine, Merc SL / SLK or BMW 3 series convertible for about 4 or 5 grand nowadays.

Approved used is another good option. I managed to get an X3 which was 9 yrs old from BMW with a 2 yr BMW approved warranty on it for about £11K all in. Only done 50K miles and was pristine.

IndustryStandard I did think about going second hand in the premium sector, but felt the servicing cost and insurance would be too high. Second hand in India is a little different, roads are awful and Indian drivers are quite aggressive, wear and tear is probably a lot worse than the 1st world.

This is how the biz tranz’ers roll, you gotta let’em know what’s what from the get go!

Millsy

Can you drive, Ed?
