Hello, could someone give us some advice please? At the moment we have a Ford Maverick 7 seater but it's falling to bits now. We need something to tow the caravan, with 7 seats and room for the 3 boxer dogs. A friend of ours recommended a Chrysler Voyager but I've been looking on the internet and have seen reports of problems with them. Can anyone give any advice or suggest something suitable? We want something more economical than a 4x4 and would consider having a gas conversion done.
Thanks in advance
Sue
We have a voyager, which have had from new the only problem we had was the battery was not an adequate ampage for the size vehicle so we changed to 850mah, will have to cut the tray to get a larger battery in though as the battery has to sit on a switch. We leave the two captains chairs out most of the time, and have moved the bench seat to the middle, this allows for a larger boot space. It really depends on how many seats you have in it, as the boot is not large with all of them in, you could go for a grand voyager which has about and extra foot in length. We havent got all electrics too, as we thought the automatic opening doors and tailgate took an age to open and would kill the battery off. Full consumption isnt too bad, it depends on how you drive it. We have often thought about changing to a smaller car as we no longer need it for business purposes, however no we have a trailer tent it has come into its own. We like it, but as they say you should go for what suits you and not what others think you should have.

Noooo! Not a Disco - take a look at their reliability records!
You just need to make sure you get a diesel and not a petrol Grand Voyager. Then fuel consumption is excellent for the vehicle type.
Wotchoo trying to say? My Disco's been brilliant! It's done 134000 miles now and I just don't even think about reliability - I simply know it'll start instantly, then run faultlessly. Everything works, every time. It's 15 years old and will tow pretty much any caravan - and could probably still do so with an XC90 on the 'van's roof... Having said that, No Disco's going to be your first choice for economy - including the latest ones. It's a proper off-roader, not a posemobile, so it's heavy duty everything, which adds weight, which uses fuel. Also, sending power to all four wheels is bound to adversely affect efficiency, especially if you factor in a dual ratio transfer box - necessary if you're going to get it properly dirty. So if you don't need the best in off road ability and consider economy a priority, you don't need a Disco. On my old 300 Tdi the interior layout's not all that versatile compared to more modern stuff either, and as we foster tiny ones we're about to enter the world of MPVs with an '02 Voyager. I just hope it's at least half as good as the Discovery has been.
