Wife's car is due for replacement. She (we) like stuff that's not mainstream, so quite fancy a Nitro (she currently has a Caliber).

We'd be looking at the 2.8 CRD SXT - any owners/previous owners offer any opinions on them?

They look like a baby Hummer and are cheap and better value than a Jeep.

Personally I quite like them.
I like the tonka toy styling and plenty of room inside.

Oh and they are as cheap as chips
wink

She'd love a Hummer - but an H2 is too big and the H3 is too expensive to buy and run.

Some good deals on pre-reg which has piqued my interest.

Test drive booked for Saturday, so will see....

PS. Exhaust valves still in box! Maybe I should get them fitted for me wink

Hummer H3 3.7 RHD!

The dodge nitro still is a good choice but I prefer a Jeep Commander 3.0 CRD

On the basis I doubt your car has moved out the garage yet, no real point.

You may want to check you can still get into it after all the excesses of Christmas wink
Well - you're right about it not having moved at least wink

Still, in the process of getting buiders quotes for the new garage - so not long now before I can get in and out of it conventionally hehe

Pal has one as a daily and loves it, he's run all manner of US motors over the years and says it's a great fun motor, but is a bit evil on fuel for a daily and considering that it's a diesel
