New 4x4's
Drift:
Other than that Fj Cruiser and I dont know how much it cost I would say the Jiminy is the way forward in new car terms for off roading, taking into consideration the vehicle cost and parts for modification.
Lets face it not many of us can afford to modify or buy a £30k car :-k

I haven't tried the Outlander, I had the Peugeot 4007 for a few days to test, they are both the same cars, the Mitzi looks better though, looks more like an off road vehicle, it had 7 seats, very small seats in the boot.
I wasn't allowed to off road it to begin with as they were frightened I would break it, I asked them if it was up to it and they then allowed me to off road, it didn't come up to much off road and slipped and slided around and refused to clime a muddy hill, not bad as a soft roader though.
I've also off roaded the new BMW X5, it was the dogs danglies on road and was ok in mild off road conditions anything more and it struggled, awsome drive though.
Obviously I have hammered the D3 off road and rate it as the best of all of the ones mentioned, (slightly biased)!.
Disco-Ron:
Lets be honest though, while they may well be 4x4's, they're not a Defender are they..... ie, built for what it is, and does, ,ost new 4x4's are too complicated for their own good..... mind you, i dare say a new defender is going that way aswelll...LOL!!

I've off roaded the new defender against the D3 and RR, I prefered the D3 and it was the one that kept going with air suspention an auto electric diff lock on rear axle, great fun !.
