What's the problem with 4WD's ??

[bahaimus]

well I was giving Coyote and Bahaimus a run for their money around the skidpan one afternoon with them in bahaimus's old datto and me in the pajero (with 4wd engaged).

Be sure to never let the facts get in the way of a good story there Josh......

I hate 4WD's. We have a 2001 turbo diesel Jackaroo on loan for four months at the moment. It is slow to go, it is slow around corners and driving in a straight line there is about 5-10 degrees of free play either side of centre in the steering.

I really have little interest in driving off road (well never enough to want to buy a 4WD of my own) and the subaru pulled a big enough trailer for anything I ever needed to tow.

The only benefit I see to sitting up so high is being able to perve at chicks in cars.

I don't feel safer in it because the Subaru turned and stopped a whole lot better.

It fills the garage with stinky diesel fumes.

I can't see past them when I'm riding my motorbike. Most of the ones I see are cleaner than my motorbike.

I for one will be chuckling at all the people struggling to keep the fuel up to these (and other large cars) over the next few years when my wife and I are puttering around in our little Jazz we intend to buy and I zip past on my daily ridden motorbike.

But hey, that's my choice and situation :D

On the size issue - sure its taller but our new prado is not as wide or long as our vt wagon & is a shitload easier to park.

Edo - im getting about 18L /100 ATM but its only done 5500km. Should loosen up a bit soon.

Hehe. No I think its more like:

"I can write off 3 wrxs for the price of 1 Lotus/Maser 3200"

That is THE reason to buy a 4WD Especially if low cut tops are involved
