I say, I say, I say boy, I like the new Vitara a lot. Is it true it gets 53mpg average?

Also, nice caravan!

Not tested it yet, but it does seem to do a lot of miles.
Also pulls our caravan very well, after saying that it is very small. (Caravan)

Yeah, I have an Abi Adventurer (if Dan reads this, yes I know what the rules are regarding caravan names - and yes, the result is hilarious - imagine if it were being pulled by a J*** Wrangler...). It's tiny, but I can legally AND safely pull it with a Toyota Yaris because it's 650kg MIRO/850kg MTPLM. I can actually legally pull it with an SJ. But I think I'd want more power first - my Yaris has 140lb/ft, so it pulls nice, but the SJ has about 60lb/ft, and really has trouble pulling itself.

What caravan is that? Looks similar dimensions to my ABI.

You're supposed to change the manufacturer's name to the same word that comes up on the forum when you type in "j e e p" (without the spaces).

I'll leave you to work that one out for yourself, although I'll warn you that if you're easily offended, don't click on the above link...
