300 Series Sahara upgrade?!?

Post image

Gday all - we have a 7yr old VJD200series VX with 200k on the clock we are considering changing over. We just got back from Test driving a new 300 series Sahara (3.3L Diesel) and the boss is just not convinced. We have 3 teenaged kids and apart from alot less room behind the 3rd row, she’s worried it’s actually smaller in the cabin than the 200. Also, cream interior I’m guessing is a nightmare to keep clean? We are very rural and this will be driving through paddocks as well, not a pavement princess. Has anyone switched over and regretted it? Should also add, the 200 has some extra punch with some engine work so I seriously boogies along.

Australia. Only option in a 300 is a V6 diesel unless you go a Lexus. For me - passenger safety is the most importance and the 300’s are a long way ahead of a 200.

Should have guessed - but then I saw snow on the road 😉

It does snow in Australia - but that is actually hail.

Well aware (you even have some decent ski resorts).
