I want a smaller 4wd with lots of clearance (as a backup). What I want is a Jimny, but BEV with lots of range.
The only car I can find with my requirements at the moment is the Trailseeker or Solterra.
I drive a jeep at the moment. But, I don't want a large car.
Tired of Dodge RAM drivers and other large utes using their big size as an excuse for bad parking, and driving like shit. Instead, they should be driven at a better standard. At my local IGA, the other day, there were literally 4 cars using at least 11 spots..
At the very least, they should be double demerit
100% this. If I drove one of those things I'd park it perfectly every time just to avoid the shame.
Thats the funny thing. I drive a jeep unlimited which isn't particularly small and I fit in EVERY spot.
I'd understand using 2 spots in some circumstances, but, I've literally seen people in a RAM 1500 pull up to the parking lot just brake and not even try to correct their obviously crooked parking. If you're at an IGA or woolies during lunch time, you're clearly not THAT rushed
if everyone with lots of money could go out and buy a subaru uncharted now, so i can pick one up in a few years 2nd hand to replace my XV... that would be kinda perfect.
I don't think my Jeep will last a few years anymore. It cost me 10K in the last 2 years.. I can't afford a trailseeker, so, may need a car loan
