Re: Pajero -v- GMC Acacia

You might want to check out the new VW Tiguan, although it may be slightly out of your price range - but then maybe not.

now if he was telling you he wanted to buy a Porsche you should be woried - Porsche drivers are less faithful than any other group of car owners, with almost 50 percent of them cheating on their partners...

yes I would go with a safer option too with a kiddie. a lot of the garages have used cars with very little mileage on them. they keep them off site in Al Quoz so it may be worth popping along to the garages to get directions or contact details for their off site sales

I agree..I luv my Prado VX with all the extras. I just wanted a reliable car that would never breakdown in Sheikh Zayed Road traffic conditions. Toyota for reliablity and cheap spare parts.

I think the only engine options in the UAE are 170bhp or 200bhp 2.0l supercharged.

Beat the LR2 Freelander is road tests, and is very quick in the 200bhp version.

Is also quite capable off road, it is like a smaller Touareg.
