Hey guys in about 3 months i will be looking at getting another fourby. The main thing for me is that i spend about 80% of my driving on the blacktop and with the rise in fuel prices i am looking at a capable fourby thats good on juice. I was thinking of a zook with the vitara efi cause i had one and it was good on juice but what do you guys reckon??
Budget is $10,000

$10 000 will get you a good disco, diesel auto if you shop round, coil sprung, disc alround. electric windows ect. (most of the time
), around 10l/100km. will get you where you need go on the wkend.

My mate was looking for somthing similar a few years ago - narrowed it down to a vitara or feroza. Widetrack ferroza won because of the detachable hardtop and felt nicer to drive.

gas
My 4 runner costs $28 - $30 to fill up and goes 400km + a bit on that tank.
$7 - $ 7.5 per 100km my old efi zook couldn't even come close to that
and the toy is a full size rig
