To me just an unlucky car for a whole raft of resons beyond it
appears the logic of Aus cars.
but a much maligned vehicle that is safe comfortable and gives fair
bang for buck
Goind to be a snip at used values which to me is drive enjoy and
drive until it expires then leave it .
Still think one may be in front on cost per KM
They ARE nice to drive and pretty sure footed on the dirt . So I like
em
=================================================
A friend owned one for a while (Novated Lease) and we took it on a couple of
boys weekend type trips, it was nothing to write home about but it certainly
did the job it was asked and it did everything without fuss. My friend now
has an Aurion and his impression is the two cars are chalk and cheese, with
the Toyota being leaps and bounds ahead of the 380, and as his arse in in
the drivers seat for an average or 2000 to 3000 clicks a week, I will take
his word for it.
As always YMMV :-)
