Cheap vehicles – no one likes to say that they love them, no one dreams of having them for the most part, yet they survive. They live on and they sell, in great numbers at that. Perhaps the most interesting “cheap vehicle” of current times is the Renault Duster, or “dump truck” as my girlfriend decided to call it after its, erm, brown colour to rival the land mines left in your back yard by Spot, the dog.
This comparison may be deemed to be unfair in many ways, but what the heck! We took a Subaru Forester XT, an SUV that makes no claims at being an off roader, and pitted it head to head against the Renault Duster 4×4, in diesel power format, to see whether they could deliver or not.
