Read in some newspaper that the Nissan Navarra was voted top in a recent survey. I drive one through work and it seems reliable, well built etc. If travelling a long distance, I'd prefer a car. If you're going to be driving alot, I'd take a long test drive to try it out. Probably only does about half the mpg of a diesel car, driving position not as upright as others jeeps- kills my back and heard others complain of same problem. Not a very tight turning circle so wouldn't like to visit too many multi storey carparks. See alot of Hyundai and Kia jeeps driving around. If you're keeping it longterm and not too worried about resale price, they might be worth a look.
