Buying a 4 wheel drive

I am interested in buying a 4 wheel drive and I am currently considering buying either a new or a used car (2007 or better). Between GMC Envoy, Chevrolet Trailblazer and Toyota Prado, I am unable to decide. Any thoughts or advice?

...and I was just about to complement you on your nice piccies!

H2 is perfectly happy off-road - I should know... I've driven mine around Villagio.

But I s'pose if you just want to be another member of the herd....

Nothing is more relaxing than flying like an Eagle in Heaven !!

Toyota prado for sure. maintenance free. tough 4 wheel and u can sell it anytime u want to. the resale value is high. plus u can find any part in scrab at industrual area easily. but in my opinion.. even if it is less than 2007.. go for landcruiser!! the best!

Its' the only way to go - loads of clearance, massive, luxurious and you can get a 2nd hand one from Mannai from about 160k. Mine was 22k new, but you can get "pre=-owned"

Plus everyone will want to ride in it!

Have some fun - you will never be able to afford it again -and dont worry about resale value and drive around with plastic bags on he seats so that the next ownr can have nice seats whilst you sweat your knackers off!

Go for Prado as resale value is good, spare parts are available, service takes time but is good.

If you are planning on going off road, avoid the Envoy, it has sod all ground clearance!

Any Toyota model is good but the US brands. Try Suzuki there are some good offers.. and the new Grand Vitara is very quick and light on Gas
