Best off-roaders
The best 4x4s offset high running costs with practicality, luxury, comfort and more.
1. Land Rover Discovery 3
2. Land Rover Freelander 2
3. Honda CR-V (new)
“The best all round car on the market, it does everything from taking you to a ball to roughing it in the mud. Fold the seats down and you have a van, put them all up and seven travel in luxury!” Mr Barry Chevallier Guild, Stowmarket, Suffolk.
The perfect example of a car that justifies its high running costs with practicality, luxury, comfort and more. Discovery 3 owners are a happy bunch – and maker Land Rover will be just as content to see the Freelander 2 in second place here.

The smaller SUV offers much of the appeal of the Discovery at a fraction of the cost. This is another sector represented by only four models in Driver Power 2010, and following the green oval pair is another duo: new and old versions of Honda’s CR-V. The former scores on versatility and reliability; the latter is a long way down the chart, but still makes sense used.
