Small new car capable to be used seriously off road in all weathers, what are my options?
I want to buy a Suzuki Jimny 5 door but it is not coming to the UK. There really is a need for a small off road vehicle at a sensible price for farmers and many others. Is there an alternative vehicle now or in the future?

If the three-door Jimny is not suitable there are limited options for small 4x4s that would be suitable for serious off-road work.
The most obvious option would be the Dacia Duster 4x4, which is one of the cheapest on the market. It has selectable four-wheel-drive and a hardy interior, and with a good set of off-road tyres it will go a long way off-road.
If you need something with more ground clearance you might have to look at something a little larger, such as the Jeep Renegade or Wrangler.
