Hi guys and gals,
A lot of people seem to have a lot of questions about buying a new 4WD. Would it be worthwhile creating a vehicle selector?
For each make and model, we put in detailed specs, such as engine size, petrol vs diesel, toughness, ease of modication, cost of repairs. Maybe a 'panel of experts' put in what they think of each type on a scale of 1 to 5 for each of the categories.
Then when someone is looking for a new vehicle they get asked a series of questions and each one is weighted depending on how important that is too them.
eg I wanted a stylish looking car, not for too much serious offroad, that was cheap to run and very comfortable < 40K - so I bought a Patriot.
Also needed a big, rugged, reliable 4WD to go offroad in and not get bogged and not get in a fight with Tina and not have to rely on the charity of passers by, so I bought a Patrol.
It took me a long time to weigh up all the options and all the pros and cons.
What do people think of that idea? Worthwhile, practical? Would need a way to get info in about less common vehicles, like the BT-50s and the Patriots of the world, otherwise everyone would buy Nissans and Toyotas
