Am thinking of trading 2004 falcon on one. Trying to get decent size car with better fuel ecom. TIA > Am thinking of trading 2004 falcon on one. Trying to get decent size car > with better fuel ecom. > > TIA Forget it and keep the falcon, fuel economy is around the same or even worse, drove one for three weeks and travelled 5000 kilometres costing me more than what my Falcon EF would have. They are not comfortable either The Outlander name brings to mind that it would be Outlandish to buy one > Am thinking of trading 2004 falcon on one. Trying to get decent size car > with better fuel ecom. I can't comment on them specifically, but I would imagine it being somewhat difficult for them to get better mileage than a Falcon. Oz might know, as he's the resident Mitsu freak. Personally, I think they're as ugly as a hat full of arseholes, like everything else in the current Mitsu range. I know you weren't asking that, but I like to remind people :) -- Regards, Noddy. . > Personally, I think they're as ugly as a hat full of arseholes, like > everything else in the current Mitsu range.

As you were then! SignatureKnob Buying a soft roader for better economy than a falc is a brave move - i'd be surprised if it was any better. You would miss the performance and comfort (relatively speaking) of a large sedan, too. SignatureVYBerlinaV8 > Am thinking of trading 2004 falcon on one. Trying to get decent size car > with better fuel ecom. > > TIA This month's Wheel's magazine has a review of small-mid sized automatic soft roaders. Outlander came in about 3rd behind Subaru Forester and upsized Rav 4. MK Wait till next year for the new V6 MIVEC model. > Am thinking of trading 2004 falcon on one.

Trying to get decent size car > with better fuel ecom. > > TIA Buying a new car will cost a hell of a lot more that what you'll save in fuel bills. Best thing would be to drop to mid-sized car like a VW Golf or Jetta. 2.0l petrol engine gets around 8l/100kms fuel economy. Do you really _need_ a new large car? Obviously the fuel bill is important to you, so perhaps you need to reconsider your priorities, particularly in regards to desire or need for a large car. For all I know you have 4 18 year old sons to cart around so you need something large, so my Golf suggestion won't suit. In that case, you need an LPG conversion IMHO. Ben > Am thinking of trading 2004 falcon on one. Trying to get decent size car > with better fuel ecom. Just get LPG. > Just get LPG. That *could* be a good move, but I'd check the suitability first. All cars will run happily on lpg, but very few soft roaders seem to have enough space available to mount a decent gas tank. -- Regards, Noddy. >> Just get LPG. > > That *could* be a good move, but I'd check the suitability first. > > All cars will run happily on lpg, but very few soft roaders seem to have > enough space available to mount a decent gas tank.

Not suitable for Mister Bishy Outlandish > Am thinking of trading 2004 falcon on one. Trying to get decent size car > with better fuel ecom. > > TIA Comments? Yup. If you want space get a Falcadore wagon. If you want a fourby and will use it off road, get a real one. Really can't understand those ppl who want space so go and buy a softraoder >> Am thinking of trading 2004 falcon on one. Trying to get decent size car >> with better fuel ecom.

Yup. > > If you want space get a Falcadore wagon. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Fraser And also, the Outlander may not have the approach and departure angles of a true off road 4x4, but it has the same diff/AWD setup as a Pajero, I believe. Which is why my brother is getting one - plenty of space (one of the largest in that class), drives half decently (for its class - worth a read of the recent magazine article mentioned in an earlier post) and he wants the AWD for the many trips to various family members who live on horrible country back roads.

Really > can't > understand those ppl who want space so go and buy a softraoder ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I speculate many people don't want to buy a car that looks like a taxicab. -- SUVsAreMoreStylish,Too Thanks for comments to all. No decision to report yet. > Am thinking of trading 2004 falcon on one. Trying to get decent size car > with better fuel ecom. > > TIA |
