Ive been recommended the mondeo estate 2.0 tdci as a very good reliable motor by my mate whos a mechanic.

id stay away from them mate I had one nothing but problems with the actuator on top of the turbo

And don't forget the injectors

Nissan x trail brilliant motor plenty of room good on fuel and go anywhere with the 4x4

Was thinking of one of these myself buddy

Hilux for me for work and running about. But use wife's Peugeot estate for motorway miles. That said I drove the hilux to Ireland earlier this year

[Moorside 642]

Has anyone on here got a diesel forrester? , for a 4x4 the road tax (£210 per year)and mpg (40+)seem really good. My Mrs will have it for work which is a 20 mile round trip from where we're moving to so mpg is an issue.

From what I've read on line moorside,,,,the Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.0l diesel ,,does 40+ miles to the gallon on a run,,,and 30+ around town

[Haiddheliwr 1,911]

Got to agree Tyla the old shape Hilux is the dogs boll**s!!

Diesel forresters are not cheap Moorside I've been looking for awhile to get one for the wife-next motor be the scout or audi all road I think,atb dc

[Moorside 642]

Yeah Daniel cain, theyre definitely expensive but still might go for one because its our only car. I use my works van most of the time, but be good to have a 4x4 as well. Atb

It's crazy looking through the autos you guys have. On the one side your driving around in what amounts to something we'd get for our wife to drive to the grocery store. On the other side, the m.p.g.'s your getting are double what's available here. Getting over 20 m.p.g. on a hunting truck here is unheard of. We can't get Hilux's here because gas tax funds the hwy. upkeep so they won't let us have anything that gets good fuel mileage. Same goes for small Ford diesels, VW's, Audi's, etc., etc.

 

Nearly everyone here has a Ford F150, Chevy 1500 or Dodge 1500, all 4x4, and all extended cab. There are a few Toyota Tacomas which are essentially a gas Hilux that gets 20 m.p.g.

 

Can you all get the Toyota series 70 diesel trucks there. It's said that if they let those into the USA it would crush the domestic truck market here. I wonder what kind of m.p.g.'s they get.

If ive got my facts right and calculated it right they are paying a maximum of 45 English pence per litre. Vs our £1 plus a litre.

 

Yearly low has been 36 English pence per litre.

 

I would have a V8 if fuel prices were that low. Lol.
