Our 2006 VVT manual is great to drive. It will do 110 along the freeway and only up hills it may need 4th gear. Longest drive i did was to stockton and i was fine at the end... My old 2010 work Mazda 3 after an hour and a half I was starting to feel sore.

Compared to my old 91 sierra the Jimny is like a roll royce. Smashes it on power, comfort and fuel economy. I love the JImny, but the VVT is the goer...

BTW if you go the Subaru, you will need to get a W class licence. Not sure about anyone else, but most Subaru drivers appear to be the biggest wankers on the road. They even top of BMW...

I must be a wanker then.

I have an 04'Outback. Outhandles anything i've driven. I drive through mountain 's' bends every day.

I looked into getting a 'Foz', But most were older and have high kms for same price as mine. Also read a few problems with the motors, with less power than the wrx, with same motor..

Tyres are dear as mine are 17's. AND i bet every spare part i need is going to be dearer in its later stages of life

My life is also heading towards 'family' though.. So needed something bigish

Jims are fun for a daily, Zippy like the sierra's. But they are no highway car like the scooby

To be honest, a Jim is a fancy Sierra, short bouncy and easy to park.

Not a highway cruiser, my misses 2002 AU eats up the Km's so comfortably compared.

But at the end of the day, if all your doing is driving on sealed road, buy a car not a 4x4.

My Ksev is on it's bump stops and is more enjoyable to drive as a DD. Mainly cause it's a sick low low that is kinda loud haha
