    Been looking at a 99 model.
    I dont want to buy a proper Jeep becasue I'll only knacker it offroad, at least something like this will keep me in check and tow my wee suzuki.
    But are they any good and do any of them have low range?
    Is there anyhing I should look out for?
    Thanks

    AFAIK only the manual, non-turbo models have a low range gearbox

    They have a reputation for being thirsty.However a great choice if your compare them to petrol Rav,Santa Fe,Crv,X Trail,Freelander etc.Especially if you actually tow or go off road. Subaru are always in the top 5 for reliability and customer satisfaction.

    I have one.

    great car - try for one with full winter pack, defrosts very quickly in winter, loads of room in boot. Hell of a sunroof..

    Great pulling power

    Be warned.. it is thirsty but fun!... feather the throttle & you could be ok.
