Carcraze 1st Gear June 1, 2007 Share June 1, 2007 i love the Q7 (4.2Quattro). anyways, another 7 seats SUV would be the Mitsubishi Outlander. if don't need 7 seats, go for the CR-V. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtth84 1st Gear June 1, 2007 Share June 1, 2007 the fortuner is running on a ladder frame chassis. paying alot for a SUV converted from a pickup. go compare the interiors of the toyota hilux and the fortuner i'm sure you can find alot of similarities...

Odyssey02 Clutched June 1, 2007 Share June 1, 2007 I've sat in both the XC90 and the Fortuner before. The Fortuner is like a truck on mashmellow wheels. Too high and too bouncy for my liking. The 2.7l engine sounds rough and unrefined as well. The XC90 is more expensive but if you can afford it, why not? Its a true 7 seater and it rides well with a LPT engine.

Rtth84 1st Gear June 1, 2007 Share June 1, 2007 can consider the mitsubishi outlander also got 7 seater version Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey02 Clutched June 1, 2007 Share June 1, 2007 The outlander 7 seat version is for kids only and the seat rests look like bunny ears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fondue Neutral Newbie June 1, 2007 Share June 1, 2007 (edited) You shortlist 3 and then exculde 2......... that leaves you with the Fortuner ! If that's your only choice, just go test drive again and again to see if its your cup of tea. But be warn, it's FC will be much higer than your 230JM. Friend who switch from CRV 2.0 to fortuner claims he is only getting . Take note of the seat height too, cos my mum-in-law had difficulty getting in/out my BIL's fortuner.

Shox87 4th Gear June 1, 2007 Author Share June 1, 2007 hmm.seems like for many fellow MCF-ers are saying,the main liability wif the fortuner would be the poor FC.hmmm. guess i have gotta use either shell 95 or 98 to pump in the future man.lol haha.hey guess u're driving the cefiro 230jm as well right? which year model was it?mines in june 04.wads ur mileage like? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
