The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.

Dont touch the Freelander (especially the 2001-2002 models). Too many problems and the parts/service are expensive. Test drive one (long distance) or get stuck in Thika Road jams and it feels like driving a tractor. I would not recomend it to my worst enemy. My experience however is with the 2001 model and they could have improved on the subsequent models.

IGANA.

Forester any day.Nissan Xtrail have too many fatal accidents. First of all,they are very fast vehicles made of very light materials(Fibre glass at the front) Word has it that they were withdrawn from the presidential escort for killing many a president men. Witnessed a few accidents myself.
@ Sasha,yes,Forester is a safer 4x4,and a fast one too.
