The Subaru brumby is another favourite down here that keeps going on.

Being an ex-farmer, the problem with the brumby was ground clearance. My dad had one as a work vehicle and you could get that thing beached on a clod. We also has a Suzuki Stockman (essentially a trayback Sierra for those that don't know). With a set of mud tyres, that thing would go anywhere. We never bogged it and we had heavy black clay, good rice growing country. Even it though didn't have enough ground clearance. Also the 1L motor and 4 speed combination was no good on the highway. 80Km/hr was about the limit. Being Indian made probably didn't help and in the end it was literally falling apart. The body had cracks all through it and the clips that held the removable roof kept breaking from twisting climbing over irrigation banks.
