I've had 2 Mavericks 2.7's(Ford badged Terrano) and found them brilliant tow cars (1650 caravans). The 3 lt should be even better and I think returns more MPG.

Hi Klarky, have you noticed how many 'old' Teranno and Mavericks (P,R,S reg)you see around that still look as new.
hi brian
yes they do seem to wear well,some of them have been well care for.as for the mpg,you are correct,the 3.0 litre is much better on fuel than the 2.7.

As always Stinky a comment based on your very blinkered ,bias opinion. I notice that you praise the Kia Sedonna,how can that be ? Its not exactly the best vehicle for fuel economy is it. And then there are those very poor Ncap results.
Still as long as its not 4x4 !!!

Well done SP, looks like you have won. I caught the tail end of a news story on the radio this morning. Looks like the government are going ahead with the increased tax on large cars and 4x4s. I have made an appointment at the local hospital with regards to selling one of my kidneys. I need the money to pay for the increased road fund as a smaller car just wouldn't be safe to tow my van and I don't want to gamble with the lives of my family. Perhaps a Kia Sedona would work though; I know you have one, would you recommend them? Thinking back though, to the news item, they said that the increased tax would depend on a combination of fuel economy and engine emissions and if I remember correctly the Kia Sedona is actually worse than the Sorento where these two facts are considered.
Welcome to the club/clique S P, I'll let you know how the operation goes...

Sorry Klarky, I typed all that out before I saw your plea. But I thought "I'm not wasting 1/2 an hour of my life for anybody"!Well done SP, looks like you have won.

Ah! I often have to admonish people for not paying attention to detail. It is dificult.
But in your case I believe it is the subject matter you have problems with.

Can you explain Pete, you have a company car. Yet you set company policy as the founder if I have it right.
Can't quite see your point on large car tax, when the sedona has a bigger engine and is bigger than many 4X4,s.
As you seem to suggest that you are in clover as your car is company owned, I assume that all your good judgement and care for the environment is based on you hiding behind company car policy and dodging tax's. Green policy and nice little family runabout, but I can "hide" the big fat Sedona as its a company car.
What are you on man, one minute it's your car, then it's the "company car", then you own the company and set company policy.
Another company owner sitting on his morals and hiding behind any tax break he can wriggle under it would seem.
Sounds like you work for an unsound shifty employer mate.
Seems like he's screwing the system whilst preaching, get out before he screws you! ;-)

You are both correct! The tax rules on company cars is such that a Sedonna (as good as it is) is a rather poor choice.
This is all just another makebelieve from an increasingly desperate individual.
To be honest I am actually rather concerned for the wellbeing of the individual - after all is this behaviour anything close to the norm?
