Well Christian, Australia isn't really the place for high speed anyway :-) so as along as the car goes 120 I'm happy here - maybe without using too much petrol then ....
What is your experience with fuel consumption btw?

I'd use the car mostly in the city and for trips to the Grampians or then maybe at some point for some bigger trip to the Blueys or so. No real 4WD stuff, just the typical Grampians dirt roads I guess. I've driven a Mazda 323 there and it survived but it somehow feels wrong.

I guess the most important feature is the bigger storage room which these cars obviously have and the possibility to sleep in the back. Does anyone know how wide they are inside
- from door to door
- from wheel to wheel (so the minimum width)?
The higher ground clearence comes in handy, too; and the 4WD is more an extra feature.

Why expensive to maintain, MrKyle?
