The 16 y/o X Trail 2.5 petrol only does 25mpg so my 1200 mile trips to the Assynt region costs a bit. It runs very smoothly and is comfortable. If I bought a more economical replacement, say 4 y/o, it would be about £15k  - I can buy a lot of petrol for £15k though.
Last year I did buy a replacement - a VW Tiguan diesel.  When I took it home the wife said -"you're not going fishing in that"! "You are not letting that lovely car smell of dead waders and fishing nets"! It is now her car    Good job I had not sold the X Trail.

my wagon is some what more practical for me its a Fiat Punto eco boost, 1,2 TD, I fill up and it does over 60 just running about , I have had 80 mpg on the a9, it will do every thing I need of it, loads of room for a small hatch back, Derek Roxborough

Here's mine. I'm able to get there rather briskly when required 😎 I really need to get the Delica behind her back on the road too 👍

I quite like Fiats Derek, although I haven't had one for about 30 years 

Haven't driven a Panda since one of the very first ones in Spain Euan, it had seats like picnic chairs .... but I know the current versions are hugely improved 

Looks like you'll have most things covered with those two Steven, I do like an estate car. Not driven a Delica, but being L300 derived, I'm guessing I'd like them.

Skoda Yeti 2.0 litre 4wd diesel.
Short wheel base; high suspension and  hard underbody protection. 
Replaced a Range Rover Sport which was lovely; but I don’t miss constantly refuelling and it’s fine across anything other than extreme terrain. 

[Derek Roxborough]

yes Mike, I had a more modern Panda which I liked a lot, my Daughter had the 4wd version nice wheels , my favourite early car was the Renault 4, I have had that in places where  Landies wouldn't go Being too heavy for some Boggy Ground here, with Michelin ZX +M all terrain tires, and being light it would literally go any where,  which is more than I can say about the Punto, but it goes and cheaply , Derek Roxborough

i have an old ( 2008) toyota rav 4 for my fishing, with vredistein quad5 all season tyres.
 not a quick car or fancy but talk about reliable..........

Plus the back seats go down quickly, and play so i can get the float tube straight from the garage into the car and into the loch - perfect 

[Mike Barrio]

2008 is not old 

But it's an interesting point ..... when does a car become 'old' nowadays?

[James Laraway]

try spotting a car more than 5 years old in aberdeen or the shire.....
 

saying that they may be more common these days than they were 4 years ago....

Two and a quarter is the distance you get between fills....
Or the hours between back surgery...
Durness is a long way Eddie 

Just back from Scrabster on a job and we came down to Helmsdale via Kinbrace just to look at the Hallidale and the Helmsdale, both if which are now totally on my list.

Not being racist here, but if you do spot a car more than 5 years old in Aberdeen or the shire, it is likely being driven by someone from the Baltic States or Central Europe.
