I was so excited to finally have her in my hot little hands I simply had to take some snaps of her before she gets dirty. I call her a toy simply because she's not ever going off road. (At least not with me in the car.)
I think we might call her Snow White. Any other suggestions?

I'm trying to decide on a car like this at the moment. May I ask what swayed you to get this one, and not a Tiguan/Outback/RAV4/4007/Forester etc.?

We have a Magna which hasn't given us any trouble in the past 11 years, so we thought we'd stick to what we know. Took a few others for test drives, but liked this one.

Good luck in deciding. It's a bit like trying to buy one lens when there is a whole bunch to choose from. Whatever you get, there will always be a niggling thought in the back of your mind....

Had my Mitsi Outlander for 5 years and it was great, as good or better than more expensive similar cars, relaible and zippy, but shocking resale value sadly...advice..take it off road, it's a 4WD lol

Thanks guys. I'm most interested in an Outback, but I'll have a closer look at the Outlander.

I know what you mean about resale value Colin. Same thing with our Magna. We had intended to trade it every 3 or so years, but voted against that idea when we looked into trade-ins. We ended up keeping the old dear, and it's still going like a bomb without any trouble.
It's taking a trip to Melbourne next week and being passed down to the youngest kid who decided he wanted to see some of the real world.
Oh to be young and adventurous again!

No low range but I tell ya what , when the diff on my bike spat it in Kununurra WA on our round Oz ride
I had a Budget Hire Outlander for 5 days waiting for parts to be Air Freighted from Melbourne

It bloody amazing where on of those things will go ( lol )
