i think ive seen that advertised on carsales?
but yea im looking for a vitara, the 1.6 EFI is from '95' onwards isnt it?
i agree the v6 looks very nice

is the LWB much different 4WDing wise, i cant see it being great with only a 1.6L no offence
thanks for the replys

SWB FTW
For a first car I vote SWB.

that would be a carby one, but they still drive well, plus if you decide to go efi youll have sierra drivers breaking down the door for your old donk

thanks for all the replys,
im not sure what EFI means but im guessing its fuel injected rather than a carby engine?

I guess I'm a bit biased but I think the LWB is more stable and a bit more practical.

If you have a girlfriend, You and her can enjoy the extra legroom in the back seat, If you know what I mean. :lol:

The extra room in the lwb is very handy you can fit more in them
Comfortably all your camping gear etc plus the extra stability is great.
I opted for the 2 Litre lwb auto IMO the auto is great offroad and I wouldn't go back to a manual for offroad work onroad its good too.
The extra power of the v6 is good to.

The only let down for me is that even when lifted your ramp over angle isn't as good as a swb

If you do go for the swb get a hard top IMO if it's your only car the security and being dry will be important plus they look better

hi, ive been looking around here for the past few weeks and im set on getting a zook as my first car at first i wanted a hardtop sierra, but ive thought about it and a vitara is alot more suited to what i want to do. so im going with that ill be mainly driving roads ect, and definitely 4X4ing on the weekends will be looking at some lift and 30-31' muddies? as well as a decent sound system, fog lights, CB radio, other misc items should i go for the long or short wheel base? any other info would be great oh and im looking at spending around $4-4500 to start cheers!

Want a sick soft top Sierra on 33s? Bluesuzy is selling his blue suzy, which is one of the most capable Sierras around here. He lives at Kurrajong too. PM him for details, or look below... [marq=down]V V V V[/marq]

he said vitara guys... In my opinion if i were to buy a vitara I would be going for a short wheel base hard top. The 2L shape is a really nice looking car and still has a lot of potential offroad. No matter which way you go with vitara's you want EFI, bit more power and they are newer. You should be able to pick one up for around that but more likely a 1.6L for that sort of price range.

Someone here would know the exact year. There are advantages each way for LWB or SWB, but neither is 'better' IMO. 1.6L EFI is all you need to power a small 4x4. The most capable Vits I know of have the 1.6 in them, and even pushing an Auto they have more then enough power at high speed on the road...

My choice would be the 1.6 EFI SWB hardtop vitara. The short wheelbase is nimble and great when your learning the art of wheeling. The G16 in EFI format goes great in such a small package. I just prefer the security and water resistance of a hardtop. There is heaps of awesome aftermarket options available and they drive better than a sierra on road.

EFI- Electronic fuel injection Aussie delivered Vits have MPFI - Multi Point Fuel Injection Which is 4 injectors. Where as some import motors that have come from overseas are Single injector in the throttle body. I think it is just a term for the Vits to differentiate the overseas models.

What ever you want, the engine has to be stock. No engine conversions for p platers..

I guess I'm a bit biased but I think the LWB is more stable and a bit more practical. If you have a girlfriend, You and her can enjoy the extra legroom in the back seat, If you know what I mean.

ive been looking around carsales trading post ebay ect for about 2 months now and have found only a few that are what i want. as of last week ive pretty much been given the go ahead from my parents to get a car, now that i have a job. BUT i feel like im being too picky. things i have to have: 2D hardtop 5k or less within about a 2 hour drive EFI reasonable KMs im starting to doubt that ill be able to find one with this stuff particularly the EFI for my budget, and i dont really wanna sacrifice any power with the carby engine HELP ME!

LOL well i was thinking that when i first got on here, and everyone seems to do conversions ect. i was like yea ill do that easily but when i thought about it, i highly doubt ill ever do a convertion because 1 lack of expertise and 2 im really just too lazy. but yea 9k is a fair bit out of my range ahah i guess ill just keep looking this one is practically perfect, but its in tweed heads http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/pri ...
