Simoman 110 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 As the titile suggests, which of the two is better. I've been leaning toward the navara but how do they compare with the L200 on, Economy Ride Cost of parts Reliability Cheers Simon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Simoman 110 Posted December 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 What was wrong with it mate? I've been told to steer clear of the ranger and Mazda but been told the Navara is best followed by the L200........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
antg 1,733 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 get a navara. they are a better motor in my opinion. l200 are heavy on fuel. navara around 70 mile to the tenna, well thats what im getting Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest the poacher Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 if your looking for a navara i got one for sale on a 51 plate give me a pm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oly 12 Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hi-Lux!!!!! If it's between the two go for the Navara - if you have sufficient headroom!!! The early ones especially weren't built for those of us over 6ft! Not too sure what the new ones are like in this department, but they get a good write up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alastair Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 just got paid out for my l200 single cab,f s stole it from me at knife point from my own driveway tfor the second time ,keep using it in ram raids.l200 are juicy ,the front pullys carve up ,175 on parts ,but reliable,im also looking at the new navara ,tows more,better on fuel and looks good.hilux ok but cant tow any wieght. and we all know what ford means.FIX OR REPAIR DAILY.

jasper65 6 Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Go for the Navara Simo Better fuel ecomomy than the L200, better looking, sheds of space, and a timing chain compared to the shite belts on others, I'm pleased as a pig in shit with mine now! the next move on mine is to have the windows blacked out and some Furry dice .

Simoman 110 Posted December 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Well I driven them both today and thought they were great. I must admit I prefered the interior of the L200 but the economy of the Nissan, left home in Lincolnshire and went looking in Yorkshire followed by Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, getting one at the right price is a ball ache, out again Saturday.........
