I was taught car makers don't make profit or if they do its less than $100 but the reason why they keep on making cars is they love making them and for us to drive. Thankyou all car brands! This post is done. Be safe and happy new year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor am I aware of speculation regarding it's corporate demise. I would choose Nissan every time.

Unless you're always going to be opening carrying 2 babies or 2 full shopping bags.... I hate the power tailgate on the Fortuner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very happy with the one on my Terra. Can open and close it from the drivers seat, open it with waving the foot under the rear bumper and closing effortless with the button.

Can open and close it from the drivers seat, open it with waving the foot under the rear bumper and closing effortless with the button. I guess I should have said hated. The tailgate is fine, but the buttons that lock it out and adjust the stop-height are to the lower right of the driver and in the same small cluster that includes the switch that deactivates the "start-stop" system (which I continue to hate) such that when I disable the start-stop function I would often inadvertently lock out the tailgate. Once I got used to this it was okay. I have to say that the the powered tailgate is more convenient than a non-powered tailgate. That said, it is not an option I would pay extra for, nor would it sway my onionin one way or the other buying a vehicle. The automatic transmission in the 'tuna (at least mine) seems soft as well. Overall, I'm happy with the Fortuner, but I was expecting significant improvements in power, comfort and economy over the 3l Highlander I had before it and was somewhat disappointed. It does ride and drive a little better and I still like the way it looks inside and out. No problems with it at all after five years, so no regrets. Incidentally, I saw a Terra that I think was a new model the other day and thought it looked great. It was white with a black top. I try to buy the second model year on a new platform because by then there are plenty of reviews, the issues have mostly been ironed out, a few new features have been added, they have not started cheaping it out yet, and you get a car that will still look pretty new in five years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
