Combined with the ability to seat 7 there are few competitors. We put the Challenger through its paces at a friends farm and the more we drove it the more it impressed us. Think of it as a Wagon version of the popular Triton you can grasp just how good it is.

Finally Subaru has entered the diesel market. Long renowned for its fabulous boxer motors, they have applied that technology to produce the world’s first boxer diesel motor for a passenger car.  The super-efficient Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Outback 2.0D offers outstanding economy and low emissions, meeting strict EURO 5 standards and consumes just 6.4 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres in the combined cycle.

The vehicle on test is a Mitsubishi Triton GLX-R dual cab turbo diesel fitted with the 5 speed sports auto, super select transfer case, rear diff lock and MMCS (Mitsubishi Multi Communication System)
