Jimny. I am too poor and stingy to take any other vehicle. Even if I get it for free I will sell it and buy a Jimny.

So what you are telling me is that in “Wessel’s World”, you only get attention from the opposite sex because of your car? That’s quite disappointing for you and makes your wife quite superficial.

-Toyota FJ
-Ford Raptor
-Mazda no idea
-VW Touareg
-Jeep no idea
-Isuzu Dmax
-Suzuki Jimny
-Nissan Patrol 5.6
-Land Rover Range Rover Sport
-Mercedes GL AMG

The ones I would really buy is the FJ, the Raptor, The Range Rover, Touareg and Pajero shorty.

-Suzuki - There is only 1 4x4...
The Vitara is available in AWD, but is the only other "4x4" in the lineup locally. The Grand Vitara has been discontinued.

What a shame. I have always rated the GVs very highly.

Gv's aren't soft roaders. The Summit model has a low range gearbox.

If you could choose a vehicle from each of the 4x4 vehicles currently for sale in SA, which vehicles would you park in your garage?

-Toyota LC 200GX or aLC76
-Ford Mustang 500
-Mazda CX30
-VW Nothing interests me in their range
-Jeep Gladiator if it's here, otherwise the JL Rubi
-Isuzu MUX or the NPR300 4x4
-SuzukiJimny
-Nissan GTR - the rest are Renaults or Dacis's
-Land Rover The new base Defender90 with biggest motor - I'd drive the crap into it...
-Mercedes Unimog - the rest are platkarre
-Mitsubishi The last Pajero SWB

Why are Alfa, Aston, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Fiat, GWM/Haval, Honda, the Koreans, Lexus, Rolls, Subaru & Volvo not on the list?
I understand why BAIC, JMC, JAC, Citroen, Peejoe, Mini, Renault & other lesser brands are not there, but the ones above should be...,

So, everybody had a Jimny on their list. We all agree that the Jimny is the most sought after 4x4. Yes?
