Hello Mates,

As the topic says its time for a new ride, i have sold my Nissan 350z convertible. presently i am looking for a four wheel as i am fedup with sports & sedan.i am looking for something bigger :)

have 2 options in mind which is a


Nissan Patrol 2009 Full option
1.jpg

Jeep SRT8 FULL Option

i too have 3rd option which is my Bro's FJ, he might go for a new ride as he is thinking of and if he does then i can have FJ.so i just wanna know the advantage & disadvantage of the above rides (Patrol 2009 & SRT8 2009/10 FULL OPTION) with their price range, as i am unfamiliar with their perfomance !!


Thanks

LOL @ 'full option'

Negatives:

The SRT8 can't go off-road, the Patrol sucks on the road and the FJ is too common.

Positives:

The SRT8 is fast, the Patrol is good off-road, the FJ is great off road and very acceptable on road.

I think TNT pretty much nailed it on the head. You don't seem like the off-roading type of guy, and I am sure you are power hungry. Why not just go for the Jeep SRT8. AWD, lots of powaaa, and nice exhaust tone...

The other cars aren't really that fascinating anymore. Patrols are so bloody slow on the streets, and every other guy owns a FJ....

my views

patrol : its nice but only worth riding around day and night if u modd it ..u know..the exhaust and stuff or else its just a good off roading machine dats all.

Jeep srt8: Amazing exhaust an raw engine power..it can beat a patrol and FJC i guess so.. easily available local modds as in air intakes or bla bla.. but yes.. INTERIOR SUKZ. as far as ive seen its pretty much hardass. and also jeep has a offer goin on.. 180k i guess u gt the brand new one.

FJC : as tamu said.. its common...every 2nd person has one. its got good power ive heard and again its interior is pretty much a hummer type of rip off...and then again desert machine.

Since u had a 350Z i guess you would expeckt power outta ur new ride..my pik is go fer the SRT8...though the interior is nt all dat..

If u are loaded I would suggest G55...but I also suggest the SRT-8....but if ur thinking of modding, then take the patrol, so if u had an itch to go off roading u woudnt need to go with ur brothers car

If you're not into duning,SRT8 it is!
IMHO
Patrol:Slower than mopeds,shitty Jap interior!
FJ:Fast for a Jap SUV,miserable interior made mostly of plastic(helps improve power-to-weight ratio). Most FJ drivers are asswipes.
SRT8:Insanely fast,looks the sex,slick interior.

True about the asswipe bit :D, but I disagree about the Patrol's interior. It's nice and comfy and functional, to say the least. Not to mention the reliability is better than the SRT8, but prolly as much as the FJs.

@ TNT : full options is important to mention as these rides suck widout them and i dont wana hear about number 2 or 3 :) .

@ tamu : yes i am not off-roading type of guy i just want to be on road with big profile tires and a huge antenna on rear :)

i am very disappointed to hear -ve points of Patrol as my thoughts were completely positive. but i also wanna know about the cylinders of the car, as much as i know srt8 is of 8 cylinder.
