I plan to drive everything, and ill be rocking up with all the gear I normally have to put into my car just to scare the Reps. It will be the first car Ive actually researched thoroughly instead of going straight for the blue oval.

Mate, I don't care what you bring, I can guarantee you'll run out of crap before a Delica runs out of space,

From the list presented I'd pick the VW Tiguan - I remember reading a comparo on them and they where best in class.

However I'd go with a Dodge Nitro CRD - unique looks set it apart from the rest.
