If you are contemplating a 4x4 for towing your horses around in mud and crap, at least consider a 4x4 that is worthy of the title.

Don't do it :y

If you need to replace the Frontera, then consider either summat along those lines, or a double cab pickup might be a good compromise between usability/practicality and off road towing :-\

there's nothing wrong with the frontera , just thought it would be better to have the one car rather than two . but are the volvos good on fuel and reliable i was going to go for a 2.4 diesel

My Sister in Law borrowed my Jeep a few months ago to to her horse box, with 2 big show jumping horses, and was very impressed with it, just a thought......... :y :y

If towing a two horse trailer you would probably be over weight using a v70,you would need a proper 4x4 with the 3.5 t towing weight :y

keep the omega!  after having not drven mine for 6 months I realised what a heap a vectra is.

As to 4x4 - late model defender.  good value and low depreciation....
