best 4x4

To answer the questions:
1) Reliabillity- Toyota Landcruiser.
2) Performance- 'out of the box' must be a Defender but many 4x4's can be modified to be equally good offroad.
3) Value for money- Series Landrovers and Defenders tend to be overpriced for what you actually get for the money. A Disco, RR Classic or other 4x4 therfore often represent better 'value'.
As a good all round familly & offroad capable vehicle the one car I might settle on would be a mid 1990's Land Cruiser 4.2VX diesel (with a bit of tinkering) to do the kind of stuff I do now but better!
Its all horses for courses though and depends what you need the car for. Do your reasearch. Pay your money and take your choice. Then live with it! And try not to let it other people tell you x is better than y....
strapping young lad:
it depends what you want it for and your budget... oh and if you are technically able to fix things yourself or budget for others to do it for you.

Well on a cost basies for second hand and aftermarket parts all except the land rover and suzuki are out. The suzuki is an excellent toy and very cheep to run but is a bit small for a family. So the land rover but which one defender rangerover or discovery for me its the disco 1 its got the room, 7 seats, cheep to buy, cheep to run tdi or gased, lots of parts available and easy to fix, comfortable to drive.
Of coures there are trucks that are better in some areas but as a hole on a bugget you carn't beat a DISCO.

Best 4x4... Tough one.
Reliability... Series 3 - Local Police force had one up until 2002 for tackling the hilly jobs.
Performance... Bowler Wildcat - Hmmmmm *Drools*
Value for Money... Lada Niva - Super Cheap when you consider any Series under £1k is usually a rust bucket.

DISCO 1 its cheap to repair cheap to buy the spares are easy to come by either second hand spares or new and loads of after market prouducts, also an ideal family vehicle, plus some have really good specs e.g ex xs etc etc
