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"

I love the XTRAIL

Skyline_Boy

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

well call me :D

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 :D

also consider the prado and pajero

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

cheers

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.

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

EVER! :P

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. :P 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! :)

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.

    • Middle seat good for a slab of beer or Esky for a road trip. 2x kids, means 1x free seat lol.
    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.
