Yeah, I totally agree, and I’m not a car guy, so couldn’t care less... but I have always loved Honda’s understated smooth simple lines, but now, these days... WTF is that mishmash horrid POS look with hexagon filled panels on ya weird taillight on ya body shape to vomit on.
SG series XT’s EJ255 is closed deck/semi closed. Left at factory spec, it’s pretty bloody good. Wind the wick up and it’s as bad as an ej253. Burp burp burp.
Even this outback does fairly well, they both have a diff lock mod but that's no biggie.
Wife used to be a spare parts interpreter and their warehouse was always low on Honda and Toyota parts. Not because they kept replacing them, but because there was rarely a need for them.
This is what I wanted https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/cor...m_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=mweb_VIPSo after all this advice regarding Hondas and Subarus, I'm looking forward to seeing safreeks shiny new Renault

Such a shame they still let peanuts drive cars on Fraser Island... Looks like a nice place otherwise.
That van is belter - Hard to find , but unkillable if maintained .
They were going to build a bridge across to it at one point, the place is screwed now. Nothing like what it was 30 years ago, those off-road camper trailers are the worst thing invented, once they get stuck in them, they dig huge ruts, and then it gets exacerbated by the others later on. There needs to be a requirement for a special licence to off-road in those places. It's quite different to a lot of other beaches because the sand is very fine, it's a lot more difficult to drive on when it's dry.
It runs on gas, you'll need to check if the system complies before registration, the tanks need checking every 10 years.
Ah memories.... Drove an XH Longreach Ute a lot back in my uni weekend job days. Horrid pos from new. Useless clutch fried towing so they put a heavy one in that needed both feet to operate - a long day in Melbourne traffic and my left leg was stuffed... Windows randomly dropped into the doors, factory lpg would occasionally backfire into the airbox making the bonnet jump up. Tie rods ends unscrewed themselves resulting in opposite lock sideways action on the west gate bridge in heavy traffic in the rain...
Checking process is pretty straight forward if their compliant. I had the landrover done last year, 200 bucks from memory.
Do you have a good supply of tears? You will probably need them.
I thought you wanted an SUV?
It's a fairly old car and LPG gas tanks have limited life spans, if it needs a new tank most likely easier to remove the gas system, something you should check before you buy the car that the tank is within the 10 inspection because the tanks need an independent inspection every 10 years. Dual fuel systems on those old pigs was a joke because you had to tune the car towards what ever fuel you ran on the most, it also didn't do the valves any good.
Impressive ngkala rocks drive.
Meh, I like ours & it hasn't missed a beat over 180,000km. The pre '09 models IIRC did have issues, especially in the Pathfinders but it appeared to have been corrected beyond that. Put my foot down, it responds & goes just like it should.
I know nothing about the technology. I just press the button to switch to gas. Man at shop said it was good.
how many door handles did you break?
