I've got a sedan which doesn't let me do any off-roading, spend a day this weekend crashing around on a mates property in his Land Cruiser.
Awesome fun

No, no, no... Not saying they "don't belong".
Just saying that because 99% of my driving is around the burbs/city and a small hatch (which I have) is a far more sensible choice for me as my one car.
A Forester like I mentioned though is on my radar... That would do both for me pretty nicely.

Even standard they are often enough to get to 90% of the places that people with "serious" 4WD's commonly go. They are also often the only option where there is only the means or room for only one car and it also has to serve as a family car.
