What would new car would you buy if there were no more trackers or sidekicks around? Personally I would like something with live axles, but nothing new is built that I could like unless I import Indian samurai knockoffs. Actually I just bought a 95 land rover discovery
I both love and hate these kinds of questions because I'm constantly thinking about it!
If I could buy a brand-new Jimny, I would in a heartbeat. That's obviously not an option here in Oregon, USA. I'm a die-hard manual transmission driver. However, I personally can't afford a $30,000 4x4. So, I guess if I had to buy new, I'd go with another Suzuki SX4 AWD or possibly a Jeep Patriot; both would have a manual trans.
If I couldn't have had my Sidekick or any other Suzuki/Chevrolet product and I could go used, I would've went with either an older Mitsubishi Montero, a Toyota pickup, or possibly a Ford Ranger.
Luckily, there ARE plenty of Suzuki choices used!
