Default The anti-X5 solution

Seeing as SUV's (X5 particularly) are largely for fashion victim aspirational tossers and a bit too 'jack of all trades for my liking anyay', I've decided to go down this route for vehicles which fit in with my 'active lifestyle' and desire to drive quickly but also enjoy it.

Any other suggestions (apart from negative ones)?

4WD and can be used in the paddock and trailer the other car around with ease

Then the default choice a 7 (in Prisoner livery) but what model to choose?

I think one of the 165's would be sufficiently able, but could I do better?

just get a bloody X5, you are obviously in love with them but you think that for some reason you are above a BMW X5,




I drove a lesser powered 7 and it was a right laugh, cant imagin what a quick one would be like, but I would think it would mean a lot of grinning

Above an X5? A street rat is above an X5 so for a man of my cultivation and refinement one is out of the question.

Quite what a 7 has to do with an X5 I can't understand but I've driven both so at least have some kind of ******* clue what I'm talking about- unlike you.

Please less useless, clueless cretins like the leek eating sheep ******** welsh moron on this thread. Save it for NSR.

Impreza wagon is too small as is the forester, the image is OK though as they are 'nothing' cars to your average fashion victim. I considered a Legacy but overall they aren't quick enough for their fuel consumption.

What I'm looking at is a large, 4wd, diesel powered vehicle and something small, light, revvy and petrol powered for fun. I don't think the combination I mentioned above can be beaten for versatility.
