basically a Triton with a wagon body, haven't heard a bad thing about them myself but the auto only in the better/luxurious models put me off and then went and spent twice my budget on a auto LC200 anyway...

Got a 7 seater one when they first came out over 3.5 years ago. Was around 50k then but they have a down spec version now as well in manual.
Been happy with it as it does pretty much anything we could have wanted and being a bit smaller suited as it the wifes daily driver and she didn't want a big car but I needed to tow the boat still. Auto has been no problem and had some good runs on the sand with no issues.

 I did the same... Bought the 2010 7 seater LS and it has been great!

chip it installed a chip and that brought the little 2.5 to life...

I found if I fill up with BP ultimate diesel instead of the the other brands, the engine rattle almost disappears!

but the seats...... My only real gripe.... Bloody hard!!!!!!!

Fitted with side airbags? We had a car roll into our paddock near Nannup over easter and no airbags went off. Driver and passenger front airbags are designed to go off for head on collisions. Wont help if you get t-boned

Wouldnt

Wouldn't get one mate. Very basic car, and not much room.. I think the should be around 25k for the car that you get. We have 3 of these cars at our mine, and they have only done around 80k and a ready for the dump, suspension is terrible! You Could get a ford territory TD for the same money,much better car.

 Are you talking about the kuga? Won't be using off road only on sealed road and towing jetski occasionally.
