spoke to a guy with a PCT reg Vitara today..he said when he drives sensibly, he gets 24mpg...........his wife, who has a heavy foot and likes to floor it, gets dismal mileage... Lol, how do you define sensibly? I don't think I have a heavy foot though, I just need a nice response when I press down ...
any thoughts about the x-trail? Yes I have considered it, my mum has the Axis and I love that. However, the dealership does not bring it in and I haven't found a roro who does. The classic is just unpretty to me. The new model looks wonderful, but they haven't had one at the dealership for me to se...
sorry about not updating you sooner. It turns out that the gauge is kinda accurate after all; with mixed driving (some city but mainly highway runs) I experienced around 420km on that tank ; I didn't run it to empty, so I stopped checking at the 420 mark. If you're doing mainly highway runs, this 4...

how much is the sorento going for? Also, you might want to consider the santa fe, I believe they come in diesel models, plus an all new redesigned santa fe should be coming, so the "old" stock should see a drop in price. As for the vitara, I just filled up and zeroed my trip meter, so I'l...
terrible gas consumption on the vitara Lawd, ok thanks much. I was seriously considering it too... unless it got better my buddy has a fullyloaded 2.0 keyless entry all that jazz a 2008 model i think and he says it uses more gas than his fully modded turboed impreza Well the dealer told me 29/32 if...
or u cud buy a hilux, say "fack de firm" and den jus service on the outside.... best of both worlds. yup, did that with mines. bought mines in 2010 and took it to them for the 1000km check up. after that i serviced for my self at home using only original filters (they not that expensive) ...
I think once you stick to scheduled maintenance with a diesel, you shouldn't be incurring any hight costs............regular oil and filter changes etc The problem with diesel is that in trinidad, our diesel is high in sulfur, so more frequent oil changes are recommended, since the acid that builds...
Seeing as it's for a lady, safety in respect of theft/carjacking should also be a key point. Although it's safe to say that no vehicle is unattractive to a car thief, the Japanese brands have a history of being more "attractive" to thieves, especially pickups of recent. A Korean brand SUV...
I agree the RAV4 is overpriced, but then so is everything else............my pick for 'chunky high vehicle' is the MINI Countrtyman :) I personally don't like SUVs........they feel too unstable....and well pickups.........I have a company BT50 which makes me uneasy...too damn high..........I like b...
Should I mention that 'I DON'T SEE CARS'. Sorry guys, but I am NOT a car person. They are just too small or too low. I need room and good vantage points (height) when I'm stuck in traffic on the road. I looked at the Tucson and the Sportage, they are last resorts if I cannot get what I need in the t...
Ok, to the person who still needs mum's milk... I can cook...but I am also quite a precision driver :P I don't actually haul anything, it was just an expression for the 'long hauls (drives)' that I take. As for price point, I really didn't want to go over 300,000TTD, but if the Sorento will give me ...
Hello All Ok, so I need to get a new vehicle by the beginning of next year. It has to be something that can do long hauls without burning a hole in my pocket (initial cost, gas and maintenance), yet still have comfort and some style. I have been looking at the Kia Sorento, the Navara and the HiLux a...
