Well, as title really. I now live in South Australia, which, whilst having more sealed roads than you'd think, it still has plenty that aren't. Sadly unless the grader's been near them within the past month or so, they make our poor little Hyundai sound like all 4 wheels will fall off at any moment. Also, as well as gravel roads, there are quite a few rougher tracks that a normal car simply can't do.
Sooo.... I'm looking for a 4wd that does have some clearance and real off-road ability without:
a) costing as much as a house
b) driving like one
c) accelerating like one
So far, I've got the Subaru Forrester Turbo in my sights, but that seems to have gone very SUV of late. Also, it looks like getting proper off-road tyres for it is an almost-impossibility. I can't really see much else that fits the bill - any ideas?
