Hi guys
I've just arrived on the forum. I'm doing the research before committing to a larger vehicle that'll suit our families lifestyle. We currently drive a T31 X-Trail and even though they are ok off road as far as softroaders go, I'd still like something larger with stronger components etc....and no CVT
With a budget of $20K, there are a few good NP Petrol Pajeros going around, but I've also seen some value for money Challengers. My main concern is not having owned a diesel before. The petrol costs in the Paj doesn't put me off as much as the maintenance on a small capacity turbo diesel doing many short trips around town during the week.
What are people's experiences with the PB Challenger as a daily? Do the 2.5TDs give many headaches when used as a daily / weekend beach warrior?
Any feedback appreciated
