Reeceknight Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Looking at one of these in the gdi 2.0 petrol. really like the looks of these since they came out as there like a smaller shogun, read all the reviews and they seem good, far better than most others small 4x4 reviews. People say there juicy (what 4x4's aren't ) Just wondering if anyone has owned one or heard good/bad things. Also can't really tell how big they are lol assuming bigger than a free lander? any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttfjlc Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Rust. ^Enough said! Nice trucks though, supposedly good off road, especially when you can put your wellies through the floor for extra grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeceknight Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I have read that it was the original pinin that rusted? could it just be that reputation has followed over into the newer 2005-6 ones?

88b Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 A friend had one I think an 05 , nothing but trouble, about three sets of wheels under warranty . I seem to recall a turbo too, he was glad to see the back of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
