AA Personal Loans: 4x4s off the beaten track

Nearly half of 4x4 owners have defied their stereotype and used their gas guzzler on muddy tracks, according to an AA Personal Loans survey.

And more than a third of the nearly 2,000 4x4 owners surveyed said they had used their cars off-road.

Although, like most drivers, 4x4 enthusiasts are most likely to use their vehicle for a trip to the supermarket, 42 per cent said they had taken their vehicle down a muddy track.

Contrary to the popular stereotype of 'Chelsea tractors' clogging up roads on the school run, just 18 per cent of owners said they use their car to take the kids to school.

Mark Huggins, head of AA Personal Loans, said that given conventional wisdom, these figures were "surprising".

He added: "Whilst across the country at large people are making a move towards smaller, more environmentally friendly cars, some city dwellers remain staunch followers of the 4x4."

The mayor of London Ken Livingstone has announced that he hopes to approve plans announced last year to raise London's congestion charge for vehicles emitting the highest amount of carbon dioxide, including many 4x4s, from £8 to £25.
