Family Cars

[Silver-Arrowz]

Just get the Tarago. You know you want one.

[sven laptop]

The XR6t or the Forester Gt would be great.

Then again, so would a GTS-t or GT-t 4-door.

I know you said no imports, but I paid more to insure my Aus delivered Liberty RS turbo wagon than I do for my R33 sedan.

...and I know which one I prefer driving!

[Bleach1]

The new liberty GT is meant to be a great drive, and an XR6 Turbo is a family car with the 6 cyl turbo theme.

Outback is another one worth considering Prank. Just a little bit more room than the Forester.

But bang for buck the XT would be the go. :uh-huh:

[red900ss]

heh, oh and the X-Trail of course too....

[strutto]

Avoid the Ford Exploder at all costs PranK....

Way more trouble than they are worth...

[Kinks]

don't buy a 4wd whatever you do.. god knows we don't need any more "urban jungle offroaders" on the road

[b0neR]

XR6t, Liberty GT, i'd go these

[JezR31]

Well I like the Xtrail better than the forrester but i could live with the Liberty.

If i were u id go the xtrail, it has a similar 4WD system as the GTR except it is a lower version of it. It is bigger than the forrester.

The forrester is more powerful that the Xtrail obviosly because its turbo charged. It makes around 155KW and somewhere around 300NM of torque.

The Xtrail's 16 valve 4 cylinder 2.5ltr DOHC makes more torque "245 NM" than an NA rb25 and makes 132 KWs which really isnt much less than the forrester. What would this thing be like turbo charged????. The xtrail TI comes with all the luxury & Safety features. Crash test result = 4 out of 5. The ABS system can apply and release the brakes up to 20 times per second.

Leather is optional but " KIDS + Leather = Pain in the ass to keep clean." The Xtrail TI man goes for $35,990 and the auto is $37,990.I dont know how that compares to the forrester.

Well my post was leaning to the xtrail alot but im a NISSAN fan so..

I found some links that might help :

This one is a review of the Forrester, Xtrail , Honda CR-V and the Toyota Rav4 Cruiser. The Xtrail did very well. Its the article called " SWISH ALPS - DRIVE'S SOFT-ROADER COMPARISON"

xtrail,forrester,rav4,cr-v

I love the XTRAIL

B-Man, i would LOVE a gloria!!!

well call me

seriously I know the cefiro's are old but the insurance is very cheap 60% of the r 32's premium.

you really do need a 4 door car with a family thats why I'm selling my sr 32. my brother in law got an x trail very nice but could you live with the lack of power .

my wife drives the r32 fine and the cefiro.

Once they get used to it they wont go to a stock car again

also consider the prado and pajero

or a merc yes I'm serious e or c class

cheers

lol, kids + leather = hose it clean afterwards

[JezR31]

yea the power is low in the x trail.

You could get yourself a nice r31 skyline GTS2

But what did u want in the car and what is your price range?? Power, Space, Economy??

The falcons are good cars, their engines can go millions of Kms " i think thats why theyre used as taxis.

XR6t!! I'll bring it up next time instead of the Skyline, Prank..you can take it for a spin....and I'll take your GTR...easy

the leather is so nice...and it's really easy to drive...Bec'll love it!

[PranK]

ok - just to clear it up - IM NOT BUYING A FALCON!!!!

EVER!

Skyline_Boy - price range? hmm... up to 50ish i guess, i hadn't really thought about it.

I really liked the XTrail, i'd be getting leather tho, even with kids. But the damn Liberty GT is SO sexy!! my goodness!

Altho, I might be bringing Bec around on the idea of a Stagea 260RS! Which would be a perfect compromise for us!

oh and shell, Bec hates fords!

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Stagea 260RS is a great idea. Looks like a wagon, goes like a Skyline:D The prefect compromise:D

[v_s_p_e_c]

2fardown has made a very valid point!

[GoldZilla]

A4 Turbo quattro wagon would be the go if you can't persuade Bec to go for the Stagea.

Problem is, finding a Turbo quattro wagon - I'm sure they are around, but if they are then the owners sure as hell aren't willing to sell them... I'd buy one too if I could find one!

Must admit, I'd equally go a new Liberty GT wagon, but they won't be coming over in a manual for quite a few months yet, so you may have to wait unless you'd be happy with an auto (and also depending on when you're planning to get married and/or get rid of the GT-R).

Congrats, too, BTW.

Stagea bitch
