I have, however it is behind Pajero and Jeep on most stat's

I thought DT Dobie has the franchise, they should be able to provide decent service. As for parts, i think now one can comfortably import parts for any car at practically fair prices

Would anyone know the average fuel consumption per km or per 100km for the Prado vis-a-vis the Pajero? i.e. the 3000 cc petrol engine for the Pajero.
I still find it weird that used Pajeros in Japan are now even cheaper than Klugers!!! Its true, Kenya is a Toyota Country!!

Haha... this is an old one.

I settled for a prado. Actually got one on the cheap from a departing ex-pat. Very gud car imho.

Service and for the prado is amazingly affordable.

Still dont know about pajero

I would suggest u leave the euro cars for those ready to invest a minimum 20k a month for insurance and service. Opinion courtesy of observing friends with toureg, discovery 4 and jeep grand cherokee

Ooh c'mon @Lutz. The prado holds its own against all this cars. Check out Edmunds. German engineering is indeed refined but it only has the edge over japanese cars when it comes to aesthetics and build quality. They compare favourably on all other metrics. Plus jap cars adapt better to kenyan conditions

In the absence of professional analysis, based on kenyan roads, all these comparisons are a matter of perception/preference. Not too long ago we were told to keep off the discovery coz it was prone to rolling!!! Then it was the prado....confusing???

Calling @Vj,
Might you know whether the Mit Pajero 2008 3.2 DID Model has any issues?
I am considering importing a pajero but can't seem to decide between the 3000 cc petrol version and the diesel version(occasional off road will apply)
Guys in online forums say the diesel is expensive to service but has good torque(for towing,which I don't need)
and has a noisy engine.
The petrol version is said to have low torque and thirsty.

Nothing peculiar here give us a real example of that Toyota u buy at 800k and sell at 500k 4 your info a toyota AE110 bought in 2007 for 650k will sell at 400k today 9years later. I bought an allion 2006 @930k1800CC 2YEARS later i sold last week for 820k resale value is not just the % to the purchase price but ease of disposal most toyotas will sell within 30days of announcing Nissans mazdas mitshubishi90-120days. Demand and prices for popular cars in the japanese used car market is global not just Kenyan. Russia, pakistan and Newzealand are the biggest importers of the premio model of Toyota with fob prices as high as 10000usd while the nissan equivalent to the premio the bluebird selling at 4000fob. Resale aside RELIABILITY is the no 1 reason why people buy Toyotas ever tried to fix a nissan suspension. Try opening up the subaru rear bushes or the CRV rickety rear drive shaft

I have a Harrier 3.0. Smooth drive, high elevation, engine has power esp when accelerating uphill and very silent inside ( no engine noise). Downside, terrible on mud and Guzzler.

The best i have recorded is 10-12kpl on a highway drive. On slow traffic as poor as 6kpl. Prefers to use on long distances but on short distances nope.
