hi,
I currently own a pontiac GTO
The car i had prior to that was a subaru wrx.
I have never owned an "offroad" vehicle. Reason i am looking into an "SUV" now is i just got a dog and he is WAY to big for the GTO. I was really into modifying cars and as you can see (or maybe not) both previous cars were modified. I have pretty much stopped racing and really dont care about speed too much anymore. However i do like for a vehicle to handle fairly well and to have some pep when i step on it. I take at least one trip to colorado every year. So far we have been renting an suv for a week (explorer, jimmy, and such).
So knowing that... i have looked at the FJ and the Xterra. Have not driven either one of them. I have read reviews on both and the FJ seems to be more of an offroad vehicle and not so great on road vehicle. The Xtera seems to have more HP and better onroad handling. Price wise they would be about the same with the options i would want.
So other than what i have listed... what would you suggest i do? I like the looks of the FJ and the appeal that i could pretty much go anywhere i want with it. I dont know about the Xtera and its offroad capabilities.
so FJ lovers... sell me on an fj...
(why would you get the FJ over the Xterra)
Thanks for your help
