Unpopular opinion here but I hate big 4wds especially for just dropping kids off and/or going to work

It's ludicrous how unsafe they are for other road users especially with the additions of bull bars

I get farmers and country folk and peoples who actually go off road having em but as a daily I just don't like them at all

I absolutely agree matty. If I needed 5 seats id have a mazda 3 wagon or something.... or better a rexxy. Its only that we need the 7 seats so I went a kluger... because we dont go off roading and I feel it stupid seeing all these mummies in prados and landcruisers at school pickup with bullbars whove never seen any mud before .... what hapoens when u hit a kid with that thing?

[MattyP]

Exactly

That just aren't safer than a regular sedan as most believe.

But even the my cars bigger argument is also flawed, ok your car is now the biggest, now someone Will just make a bigger one. Making the driving public more and more unsafe

I know I have a 400kw+ falcon as a daily and that's silly but when I'm driving around town my car just behaves and has the safety features for the occupants and the public like every other sedan. A big 4wd doesn't

Plus they're c*nts to be stuck next to in places with angle parking.

Id own srt8!!! sounds wicked with a duel 3.5inch on em

Tried to convince the missus many times... she just loves the outlander...which does have everything in it. Drop down dvd is without a doubt the best thing invented for a family car.

And jeep is chit....have had three mates who bought them... diesel...and the srt8... all been either returned and refunded the purchase price of the vehicle on the hush hush or traded for another make of vhicle bought back by the dealer for almost full price based on all the mechanical work under warranty needed to be done and thr car counted as a lemon . PoS.

Great car in theory.

Cool engine though

[MattyP]

Test drove an FG-X xr6 turbo and xr8 both in manual, both lux packs, both leather seats

Xr6T was so smooth and so torque but the sound of S/C V8 was awesome

Going to be a few tough choices to be made over the next few months

Ooh that sounds like a fun day haha

xr6t FTW, matty not a fan of how "linear" the supercharged 8 is. Harsh torque/boost curve = fun
