thumbs up to that.
If you want a fast people carrier renault did do a special limited edition espace,
my uncle tried a sharan after the voyager blew up, for a week, but he didnt like the lack of power (compared to the v6 chrysler), and my aunt said it didnt handle right. The previa isnt as fast as the chrysler but its smooth and the handling is quite safe. I also think the euro ncap rating of the previa is quite good.
the espace and the previas-estimas idont like,
theyre not going on My list,
ive been looking into the 4x4 mpv options and the Mitsa -deli is on my list,
and ive heard it will run on Cooking oil,
its a machine that will go anywhere too so its ticked all the boxes,
an import company iknow as oferd me a Good deal on one but they wont have it in till june .
itl give me chance to save up a spose and the insurance is going to be Sky-high no doubt,
The Delicas do seem to be good all rounders, but I have been reliably informed that they are serious guzzlers. Same mechanicals as the 2.8 TD Pajeros with extra weight & the Pajero will do 30mpg at best. Even on veg oil it's an expensive proposition.
On the plus side, they are solid & reliable.

Yup iagree they can be thirsty as there a big heavy machine,
ican get plenty of WVO and ive been told this beast loves as the pumps on them are good,
will look into this abit more tho me thinks,
they do look like a recipie for rolling over, but my suzuki is the best for rolling over apparently and i havent rolled it even with careless driving.
But thats what you need in off roading is the narrow wheelbase.
actually the supension looks a good bit more sophisticated than the suzukis.
dont forget about the 505 dangel, its got 7 seats and 4x4.
and the berlingo multispace is avalable with a dangel conversion.

only down fall with your zuki is its petrol ,
derv is better in a 4x4 you can have more fun in it
i considered a diesel because being on a farm i could run the thing on red all day long. But i decided not to because a diesel in the suzuki is heavy, the suzuki is a mountain goat it skips over the ground.
As for fun, the 1.3 was still good fun, on a gravel yard it could do the act of spinning round in a circle on a gravel yard quite easy, but even better is that you can rev the engine like mad, it enjoys being at high revs, the 1.6 is just a more powerful version of this. As for torque its not needed, because the jeeps light and its not used for pulling, there is low range for driving up steep hills.
