Morning All,
I'm going to have to change my wife's car at some point this year and
we are looking for something capable of carrying 5+ children on school
runs and she can't stand the idea of a people carrier.
She keeps on muttering about a long wheel base Defender with the bench
seats. Whilst I know she fancies herself as a bit of a Lara Croft type
(she's always fancied an old landrover to potter around in) I'm not
keen on the idea for obvious reasons and also am not sure how baby
seats and child booster seats etc will work in the back.
The car will mainly be used for a 4 mile trip down narrow country lanes
including a very steep valley that ices up a lot in winter and you have
to be good at climbing the banks to let other cars past. Other than
that it will be used for 2-3 trips a week into Cirencester about 8
miles down the dual carriageway.
I don't really want her using my 80 because I don't want to have to
have the rear seats in so have been toying around getting a Colorado or
Prado.
So this brings me round about to my question, what is the
Colorado/Prado like for fuel consumption for the sort of driving above?
