2.2dti RS or LWB

[pclarke82]

Hi All, im buying my first 4x4 this weekend. I have 2 kids and do a lot of camping so need a largeish car with decent space. The only need for 4x4 will be muddy fields and snow.

i want a diesel for economy and reliability. i have about 1600 spare. I have seen i can buy pretty much either a 99-01 dti lwb or RS Sport with around 100k

Firstly is the milage ok or would you steer cleer,
secondley is either model better than the other?

Hope to hear from you soon and become a regular poster

Personally I'd go lwb camping gear will fill the sport boot v quickly leaving the kids without a seat. As for mileagae as long as it has had a injection pump well worth it the injection pump is the weak link in the 2.2dti afaik

2nd the lwb one. Loads of space for kids in the back (mine loves ours) and the boot swallows loads of gear. Currently averaging mid 30's mpg from mine at the minute on my 10 mile commute so thrifty if you don't thrash em. They tow anything and you'll be surprised how capable they are in snow and onfields lol. Swb look cool but bugger all roomin the boot

Cheers

thanks everyone, i ended up with the swb, i like both and to be honest it was just whichever i got the best deal on. the boot is 1100 litres, compared to my lexus 400 litres thats amazing, and if it doesnt all fit in, ill by a roof box
