MU or Bighorn

Postby harrison » Tue May 23, 2017 9:42 am

Hello
I am looking to buy an Isuzu of some sort because of reliability, but dont really know which ones to buy.
Which of the Bignhorn or the MU Wizard should i get? I want the Bighorn because of the space or the MU because of the size.
Could someone help me as to this?
Cheers

yeah i could but i dont really want to spend more than 5-6 thousand, and there wouldnt be much space to store two
Which one would you recommend out of the two?

That would depend on intended use
As a new driver I would avoid anything modified. Your insurance company will hate a modified car as a first car. As you want a manual that excludes the wizard but the auto is pretty good so there is little reason to say I dont want manual.
Bighorn has swb and lwb The lwb has an option of 7 seats. Quite tall in the roof line. Wizard Has a slightly shorter wheelbase to the lwb bighorn and a more car like profile. Otherwise there isnt much between them

the factory tyre is a 245/70/16. 31s are so close it doesnt matter Nothing bigger than that though without telling insurance
