    A decision to be made

    Perhaps I'm fatigued, too sober to think straight or just plain frigging silly but I'm contemplating the unimaginable, a new 110.

    Reality, I need a new car/tow vehicle like yesterday, by the time I buy either a Dmax or Colorado and don all of the extras it's around $50k.

    Why would I even consider a 110 apart from **** value of saying I paid $54k for a car that will break down and is crap. (I don't need the ego boost, im not a maccas worker)

    IMHO the only car I would have no hesitation buying in the current lineup is an RRS and that just costs too much to justify a brand new purchase.

    get a 90. You know you want to.
    Or a 130 and you could put the hair dressers car in the back.

    My honest opinion? I'd be looking seriously at an Amarok, like Lou suggests.

    It was also, until recently, the most pointless car in the range as well (that mantle now well and truly belonging to the evoque).
    It's just a D3 without the cargo space, after all.




    I know quite a few blokes who've driven and one who has bought an AMAROK and they are full of praise for them. And lets face it all the jap (read thai) utes are rubbish.
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    I took your advise and test drove an Amarok this morning, very impressed. The only bad point was the dealer cannot fit a bullbar due to loosing the 5 star safety rating. It would be interesting to load one up with a loaded float and see how it tows. I think it would struggle a tad.
