Safari Patrol Feedbacks

guys, need your help, as of the moment i am considering the nissan safari diesel, just like to ask for your feedbacks, regarding the diesel consumption and the ,mantenance?. and is this a little bit close to the old big body landcruiser in terms of the performance?. thanks guys

between the LC80 (old big body LC) and the safari... I would go for the LC80.

masikip ang loob ng safari pero malaki sa labas.

4km/L of diesel ang pinakamatakaw na narinig ko na fuel consumption ng isang lumang safari. More than 4L ang engine displacement niyan and normally aspirated na mechanical fuel injection. Siguro at that big engine, pinakatipid na yun umabot yan ng 10km/L na fuel consumption (kung hindi mabigat paa ng driver and if the engine is well conditioned).

Underneath, the safari is "bullet proof"... wala pa yata akong nakita na naka-abuse at nakasira niyan. Mas meron pa akong nakita na LC80 who had had underchasis problems in a trailing expedition.

Parts and replacement, they might have the same cost lang.

engine is really bulletproof. under chasis tough as hell. you also got rear diffirential lockers so the safari is a really tough offroad vehicle.hard to get stuck in the muds. pang PSG talaga. been thru a lot of offroading trails with a safari and i only have praises for it.

yup that is one good thing about the safari... TOUGH.

Ang hindi lang ganun ka ok sa kanya ay yung cramp interior (considering it is a very big ride...sa loob parang masikip)... well compared to LC80.

There are very few LC80's that I have come across na inoff-road the way the Safari is commonly abused, but they are equally strong.

safari is indeed ONE TOUGH truck; you can experience BRUTE FORCE and RAW POWER driving it.

fuel consumption ranges from 6-8km/L (city driving) and 8-10km/L (highway). parts are abundant and prices are reasonable.

for more info on the safari, you may wish to log on to 4x4ph.com and click on the nissan safari club.

The LC80 is equally a tough truck. To me, it is a matter of preference.
