I test drove the Fortuna (owned the old shape, can't stand the new), the Mitsi (to small engine and interior, IMO) so ended up with the best out of not too much to chose from really. I had the Ranger before so knew what I was in for.
Looked at the X5 and the GL but fuck me I'd rather buy a house (not that I had the dough anyway).
