Picked up the new Pathfinder today.  what a rig.  Diesels have come a long way since my last one in 95 . Sounds like a car has the pickup of a petrol and comfort is unbelievable.has creature comforts and gadgets for all to play with.  Like a kid in a lolly shop . 

If you are looking for a deal  on any of the Nissan. Mitsubishi, KIA or Suzuki  range  give this number a call and speak to David Stopps  on 0288224444 .  Couldn't fault the service and the deal well worth a call.


Thanks to all the GN's who gave their no frills views and  advice on there rigs it made it an easier selection task .

Congrats from me as well Wombat.  Had an x-Trail which was just magic, considered the Pathfinder but opted for the Ford Ranger.  Extra cargo space and the comfort is still there.  Guess it suited our purposes better.  So far can't find anything to fault with it.  Happy travels in your new toy, if you get half as good a run out of it as I did in my Nissan you will be a very happy camper indeed.

yep I dont recognise the diesels of today, the D8's and D9's that I grew up with and that used to "peak" at around 1200 rpm are now replaced with high track dozers that arent running properly until they reach 2500 rpm

but petrol has come forward in leaps and bounds at the same time, the modern v6 gains revs so damn quick that if I pull out around a car at 90 kph by the time I have passed and pulling back in I am topping at 180kph absoolutely incredible, at this rate the vehicles will be airborne in another ten years

anyway i hope you have a good run out of her and that she treats you well
