if you wont be using the pick up bed sir then itll be of most waste. you should go for a mid size or subcompact suv. have you considered a suzuki grand vitara? its the new 2.4 l engine. very smooth ride specially on provincial roads. plus the best thing about it. is that it is a completely built unit from japan plus with a free 2 yrs preventive maintenance service.if you need a more personal help on any brand and model you may reach me at 09239798596.

First of all, welcome to tsikot brutus!

BTT: How many are you in the family?

Do you really need a big space?

If not, go for the Xtrail. Better styling, better ride comfort and its simply just cheaper than the fort.

But if you want a car with a bigger space, go get the santa fe. Car-ride feeling and the style....

About the vitara, isn't it so expensive? 1.7m for the 4x4 with just 2 years warranty? I know it looks good but, think first.


If I were you, test drive all of it so that you wont be regretting at the end.


GOOD LUCK!

Fortuner's stiff suspension will make bounce your bones around. But if you modify it to give a softer ride, it is a good vehicle.

Hilux, I have driven this on short off-road course and it is a capable vehicle, I might have personal reservations against doing regular long drives in this on bad roads.

Nissan X-Trail 4x4 is the best choice given it's good on-road & off-road manners. It is also a competent light off-road vehicle.

Another good vehicle to look at is the Subaru Forester although parts might become a problem if you break something far from a Subaru dealership.

Fort/Hilux + rough road = instant diet for anyone in the back... make sure you pack barf bags.

The seven-seater/pick-ups with the smoothest rides are the Navara and the Strada/Montero twins... though whether you should buy either depends on how much you trust your local dealerships.

I was going to suggest the Mitsu Montero but I had the same thought regarding the dealerships.

BTW from what I know the Montero is 4x2 ... is there a 4x4 version?

I think there is... the 4x2 is actually the newer model.
