You'd think, but in it's class - again, it's not a bad car if you want a town runner.

I'm not even a huge fan of Japanese cars, and I do definitely agree that until late their interiors left a lot to be desired. But now, I don't think Euro car manufacturers have any advantages tbh.

But back on topic, a good clean 360GLE with a decent detailed listing and pictures should make £500 I would've thought.

why ? have you ever even driven a trajet ?
the voyager is more like a van than a car , the ones I have driven have handled like buses the bench rear seat weighs a ton ,
and worst of all the rhd model has never been passed by ncap and in lhd it was scored quite low and has one of the worst crash safety records of any people carrier ever ,

at least I know my missus and kids are relatively safe and even my daughter can remove the seats if needs be, the trajet performs and handles like a car, its not much bigger than your average saloon yet boasts the best use of internal space in its class.

it has aircon , leather , column change auto evrything the voyager comes with except the self closing doors ( which personally I dont trust anyway )

Had a dog that ran across the road got felled good and proper.
Should I nail my current hounds' feet to the floor just in case it does the same?????????

Do you work in Healthy and Safety?????You're a natural.

NCAP SMENCAP who cares.Try not crashing it always worked a treat for me.

Well I treat as I find 5000 miles since Aug @ a decent return and it's good greenlaning-I'm happy :P

My mate worked @ the local HI and DRY dealers for 5 yrs not one of his recommendations-that'll do for me.And it's Korean.Next time I see him I'l lask what rattled his feathers about it-hold that thought.

Still as long as your happy that's all that counts. Tragic would suit a Vinny Shah family I would say.Shrewd purchase :wink:

Did your Dad and Uncles' feel like shaking their hands @ end of Pacific Campaign.Ask them.

Only one bomb wasn't enough IMHO.

Apparently that Cherokee is how they come from the factory to enable a quick change of the starter motor.
£800 Hmmm................the jury's out on that one I 'd say.

lets be fair about this ,


the yanks have probably killed more brits than any other nation
20,000 during the american revolution alone.

hundreds in " friendly fire " during various wars.

and ,if I remember my modern history correctly, I dont think a jap shot John Lennon :lol:

but that wouldent stop me buying an american car I have had a buick riviera and a plymouth barracuda in the past.

just as the atrocities caused by the nazi's wouldent stop me buying a mercedes .

its in the past

Oh, and my uncle who was captured by the japanese when he served in burma , DID shake the hands of his captors when he was released ,

they werent all like the ones portrayed in bridge over the river kwai you know.

The ones who ran his prison of war camp were polite , respectful and just did there job. in fact he still wrote to one of them regularly until the day he died

like most armies during wartime most of the soldiers were conscripts and were just following orders , they didnt want to fight and were generally happy when they were defeated .
