Yeah there is nothing quite as good as getting a new car is there? That certain smell of gases escaping from newly molded plastics that we all love:big_smile: This ute is no sports car thats for sure, after owning the focus diesel the difference is chalk and cheese. Interesting that the focus...

OK, to finally end this post that i started some months ago, from asking about to actually getting. I did indeed end up with a 2.5 litre diesel, just not the one i originally intended to get, but thats how things go. Some of the extra's the Triton gets. The radio has Blue tooth and USB...

Seems to be a pitiful excuse to me. great wall motors are way cheaper and newer, but i bet he wouldn't give them the tick? Price is obviously important, but i'd have put things like safety and quality way before newness!

HEhehe.. i was on the railways in NSW for 25 or so years.. I know all about unions, but maybe for another time for me to relate about them. Another update about my new vehicle. Was at the stealer today to finally get my ford focus in for a proper valuation for the trade in, and was just yarning...

Wish i could have afforded a dual cab of any make:embarassed: This is just the povo pack single cab diesel. I would have gone the d22 dx 2.5 single cab if any of the nissan dealers would play ball. Not 1 would even haggle a little bit. Not sure whats going on there? But a very competitive...

Just an update to this post. Have decided on the MN Triton, will be buying next week. For 2k less than a navara, i get cruise, ABS, EBD and a funky radio that even has a USB connector, plus a nice high ride stance all as standard. Plus no torsion bars, makes for a nice ride. Couldn't go past...

Not related, but sure do know of the Yarnolds. I was gonna say small world, but between the Yarnolds and my family i'm pretty sure they make up 1/3 of the worlds population:haha: Tell ya MIL I'm one of the many that started on "Rosehill", she'll know.

HEHEHE, yeah i spose it used to be like that years ago. Most farms have been subi'd up and are now alot smaller than they used to be. Now alot of yuppy type's moved up from Sydney. Infact very bloody exy to buy there now. Intresting your MIL is from there. My family has been there since they...

Yeah Nev, that's the place. It's actually on the road to Comboyne, a place called Killabakh Creek(centre of the known universe so i know all have heard of it:)) I tried a few of Krafty's ideas on the missus, not a goer as yet. She did happen to mention the (keep within our budget ploy) which...

Just back from the Hilux test drive, interesting. Now i'm not a fan of toyota's at all. Infact i'd say i was anti toyota. But i have to say, that test drive surprised me somewhat. Keeping in mind this was the "Bog stock standard povo of poverty packs" Hilux. It was not bad at all, to drive...

Interesting you mention that. The salesman at holden mentioned exactly the same thing to me. Obviously, i just took it as usual salesman BS trying to put down the obvious opposition. He also mentioned that price for parts were almost double from isuzu for the exact same part from holden! He...

Hmm didn't know, haven't read anything regarding it. Went for a test drive in the Triton, they only had the 2.4 petrol at my local stealer, issue with supply they reckon. Talk about a tight fit!, the arm rest thingy that holds the power window controls etc, intrudes over the seat! I'm not...

Thanks fella's, The Colorado uses the 2.4 family II motor also the 3.6 commodore motor (although detuned), and the older Isuzu 3 litre diesel. The one Isuzu use is slightly different and by all accounts a better motor. But also they are pretty exy. I am after the base model from all i have...

G'day, i'm about to purchase a new vehicle, and the navara 2.5 poverty pack 4x2 ute is on the list, and was hoping someone here actually drives one. I'm after some fuel usage figures, and any faults they may have had, so i can compare it with the other vehicles i'm thinking about buying. So...
