Paul -C- Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Can anyone suggest a cheap, reliable, 4 wheel drive car for when the weather turns nastier in winter up here in Scotland? Something around £2k would be great. I've had a look on autotrader and pistonheads and Subarus can be picked up pretty cheap, although I dunno how reliable they would be at that price. Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 its a big more than 2k but i cant recommend a Quattro strongly enough. Got enough under the bonnet not to leave you red faced and handles like a dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 its a big more than 2k but i cant recommend a Quattro strongly enough. Got enough under the bonnet not to leave you red faced and handles like a dream. I use to have an original Audio Quattro when I was in the UK, great car for it's age and considering what I paid for it. Loads of fun in the snow as you could lock the front/rear or both diffs and get through pretty much anything, even helped tow a few rear wheel drive cars out when when I was out one particular day up on the NY Moors in heavy snow. They have a bullet proof engine too, mine was still going strong with almost 200K miles on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KARacing Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 do you guys have Celica GT-4 there? I missed this car, it was my winter beater in Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I just recently sold my GT4 (ST185) to a garage.... it had been in the 'car sales' section of this BBS for about a month ! I would have taken about £2200 for it. That would have been an ideal run around for winter... full time 4WD with around 200bhp. I exchanged my old one for a new version (ST205) ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed this car, it was my winter beater in Boston Yeah we do, but I'd rather have something a little different to the supra. Good idea with the Quattro guys!

garethr Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 How economical does it need to be? There seem to be some cheep Cherokees about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Well it depends if you want image as well as 4wd. A trooper is a great 4wd and very reliable and cheap to buy if you look for the older ones. My G reg is still going strong. Remember any 4wd is useless if you have the wrong tyres on it.

CJ Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Every year I buy a Pajero import for the winter then sell it after. Great cars for the winter months (albeit thirsty) and sell OK afterwrads too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
