These insane SUVs jam and pollute the narrow but excellently paved streets of our part of Barcelona, presumably because the owners need them to boost their manhood. There is certainly nowhere to drive off-road except when parking on the pavement which they frequently do. Having made the return trip from Spain to UK four times in the last year in an ordinary family estate car I can assure you that off-road capability is not needed for this trip.
If any country needs 4x4s or jeeps or SUVs its Spain!!! I made the big mistake of buying a citroen picasso when we first moved here, I cant wait til it eventually falls apart so that I can get a great big rugged 4x4 that will cope with the diabolical roads and tracks that I have to drive on daily... even the towns and main routes have those ridiculous metal speed bumps that have taken the bottom off my car twice so far, and no I dont drive fast, apparenty my bottom drags!!!!! LOL
