the mazda 2 is even worse

what poped into my mind

1LR into an iq....its crazy toyota haven’t answered the cygnet v8 concept with one of their crazier concepts

im not sure about the prado but the pajero 3 dr uses the same door as the 5door one so it may still have these issues.

The maneuverability from the smaller dimensions offsets makes it a better DD too if you live in a city

LMAO thats a stock photo although i should have gone full overload at this point.Also 7 is maximum they could load without the authorities flagging them down

Maybe it has do with emissions/fuel economy thing as some city cars do this as well such as in the toyota aygo have complaints like this (which ironically gets contrasted to the similarly sized Daihatsu cuore with the same engine but shorter gearing).Our parking building’s awkward entrance ramp is pretty much an…

isn’t that the fortuner’s role

The only reason Nissan AU is discontinuing the Y61 patrol is that they cant afford to throw money at the platform to pass the ANCAP requirements.

To be fair the overseas market sorta glossed over the Y62 patrols with it staying in the shadows of the Y61

No V6 is probably the No sell factor of the D23 Navarra/Terra

As for the Manual Transmission situation it doesn’t help that some vehicles have engines not particularly well matched to their transmissions for city driving.The 6MT with the YD25 in the D23 navara feels like it could use a much lower first gear with it requiring a bit more clutch feathering/throttle input than we…

FIA should require selling homologation spec cars again .....if only to see this breadbox and the mirage r5

Yes but not as bad riding a bus around here mostly because most trikes drivers know they are mince meat if dont drive appropriately.

its common in throughout asia too.Here its common for Trikes to transport 7 people at a time.

This. Someone managed to supercharge the JDM only gen1 prius which had a higher compression but lower power engine as well as a smaller motor. The hybrid system kept tabs on how much power the engine makes and cuts out when they switched to a turbo that made more power at the same boost levels than what the hybrid…

im surprised they kept it going for so long with alot of overlap in their lineup and a shrinking japanese market.Shame that the manual IS350 is saying goodbye

got replaced by the Dmax based alterra:

The only reason i could think of why nissan of USA is dragging the D40 and went out of their way to develop the Crossover above is that the D23 navara did not come with a V6
