Yeah those Territories look pretty nice. I personally think the new Prados are pretty good, and will chop up the FWD scene offroad.

My cousin has bought a new Subaru Tribeca and he is over the moon with it. Says something coming from a pretty diehard subaru fan.

Tribeca:

Or personally i reckon you cant go past a Buffalo.

By far it would be the best choice. Even comes with a sun roof.

Room will come in to play big time. I sold my terri and kept my Prado as the Prado has a split rear seat. The terri is either 5 or 7 and the Prado is 5 or 6 or 8. It makes it a lot easier with a pram as the terri is not big behind the back seat. Re-sale is not the best on the Fords. the new Prado is meant to be a very good car. The TD gets around 1400km out of a 180l tank. that is not bad for a 4WD.

Prado for true 4WD capability, otherwise go for the brand new Forester. Stay away from a Territory - brother's got one - shocking build quality after 12 months use & carting 3 kids around in it - looks & feels 5 years old but isn't.

Congrats on the twins mate!

One of my mates has a Honda Odyssey, hes got 3 kids
and he's really happy with it.

He's blinged it up with some cromies and it doesnt
look to bad at all.

Yeah, that car was on Top Gear and it was able to pull a 747.

If you want to offload the new Liberty let me know, I can't get anywhere near the deal you got and I'm pissed off with dealer's lying to me.
Assume it's a GT spec B manual wagon?

Gratz on the twins!

Korean cars for the loose. I would not put my kids into a KIA or a Hyundai. To me safety standards on the Korean cars compare to the Japanese cars are way far apart. Go the ford or mayb one of those new Toyota family 4WDs that are on TV ads recently. Abit more pricey but safety first! I also vouch for the CX-7/9 or the Honda.

Good timing on the Prado. Some of the lead times for some spec diesels are out to nine months.....coincedence....I think not! Because there is such a long lead time reasale is awesome.

- 1 for the territory. Resale and build quality. Why waste your time?

The kluger is now a lot bigger than it used to be?

Depending on the budget I bought mum a new sahara cruiser the other day. Awesome. There is already a chip out for $600. Takes it to 260kw and 801nm. Put those V10 toerags in the shade.
