Can silence be misquoted?

@Dexco

I am also looking at the Forester SG5 XT,year 2002,non-turbo,you reckon that the turbo does better long distance on fuel,please give details. e.g average spend from Mombasa to Nairobi in Kshs.

Also what is the average fuel consumption of the non-turbo,taking that 80% of the time i will be within Nairobi.

Check out the 2005 top gear survey

http://www.topgear.com/c...05/11/stories/01/1.html

it measures among other things reliability,performance and running costs.

age of cars in the review are within the range that most kenyans are interested in.

from your list the forrester comes tops.

the first 4wd is the lexus rx300 although this may be on the pricier side.

I have heard not so nice things about the rear leg room in a Forester @Sasha - trust you to throw yourself into this foray on cars - good to see you dishing out some really good advice! ;-)

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

As you are not likely to drive in snow (except once in a while in Nyahururu),4X4 reviews done in Europe may be limited
Dusty Australia may be better

Subaru Forester v Honda CR-V v Toyota RAV4 v Nissan X-Trail

I also wonder why you class Rav4 with 'the Prados' and include IO with the above.

My choice would be Rav 4 simply due to resale value.



Get ready... for the open road!
