RESEARCH into the habits of British 4x4 owners shows a massive 65% of owners never go off-road driving.

The most common use of vehicles like the BMW X5 is short urban drives, including trips to the shops.

Almost three in ten owners (27%) confessed they bought their 4x4 vehicle to make themselves look good, which might also explain why 40% admit that having a dirty vehicle caused by driving off road would embarrass them.

And a quarter of 4x4 drivers told Fish4cars they were more likely to go for a bungee jump than drive off road!

So if you fancy one of these cars get into the driving seat and motor over to www.fish4cars.co.uk.
