You correctly interpreted my meaning with "none of the above". An older gen Forester with a good set of tyres fitted can fit the bill, for sure. The Subaru Brumby is an outback legend and you still see plenty of them rolling around, going more places than you'd imagine possible.

A Subaru Crosstrek wearing it's original HT tyres, though? It's not intended as an off-road vehicle. That's not what it was built for. Low clearance, insufficient travel, weak tyres.

Can confirm the Brumby behavior, If there is one vehicle you will see driving like a maniac on the the CREB / Bloomfield track in North Queensland it's a brumby driver usually with a ZZ Top length beard.
