Russian Cars
Now everyone seems to just automatically give russian cars a bad rap; badly built, ugly, slow, and recycled designs from 40 years ago. and for the most part, that's absolutely true. there have been some good ones, the Lada Niva SUV is a perfectly competent and reliable little off-roader, the Riva is extremely reliable and meant to run in siberia with no oil changes and mended with a brick.
If I had the chance, I'd seriously consider test driving one of these http://www.marussiamotors.ru/en/news/ the B2 looks very cool indeed. not a lot of videos of it in action without music or a bunch of slideshows, but here is a B1 in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrv0uif7USM

With the right combination of gearbox and engine, you would have an awesome little 4x4. Just do a deep and accurate study on these cars if you consider to buy one in the future...

a friend of mine is seriously considering going on a hunt for a Niva as a daily driver, I keep telling him to look in canada for one, but they're hard to find in North America
