What to do post Delica?
Posted: Mon Mar 12, 2018 3:43 pm
After 5 years of Delica awesomeness and about 12 of RHD, the time might be approaching to look at something a bit newer. (I really don't feel like changing out any more heater cores.) The problem is, as you well know, there is really nothing out there to truly replace the almighty van. I've done some looking, and have a few ideas, but I thought I might put it out there to the people who understand, any suggestions of something that could compare?
Criteria include seating for 3 adults, two car seats and a 45 lb dog (plus space for assorted adventure gear...guessing I'll need a roof box), off road capable (a number of potentials on my list would require a lift) better fuel economy than my van (that should be easy) and probably 2007-2011. (seems to be the sweet spot for depreciation vs. maintenence)
Really don't want a full size behemoth, but I'm six three, and finding space for any size of human sitting behind me seems challenging.
All that having been said, any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your opinions.
