Not sure about rear seat but I think the desiel is turbo however it can be almost 8-10 dearer than petrol

hmm, hadn't considered the cost of rego, will check that out.

Thinking about a hiace, etc not euro as we really just want a cheap second car, seems like they are out there but rare.

Not really too concerned about how they are to drive, as its just a car, (second car at that).

Thanks for the info all, guess I need to get out there and look at whats around.

the imax looked goo, too but only comes in crew. :cry:

bit bigger, you could always remove the seats, but not worth the cash really.

Yep liking the iLoad. diesel is only a few grand more. Comes with pretty much everything standard except for towball. The desiel has the 500kg extra towing capacity at 2000kg

Hey Russ you can also get it on a lease plan for work at a cheaper price (usually, Dizz got our new car on a lease and saved about $4k) and trade it in at the end of the lease and get a new one

Rented a diesel iload not too long ago to transport some equipment for the second job. Approx 300kg in the back from Sydney to South Coast and it did it with ease! ;)

Definately go the diesel. The difference in economy when carrying a load or towing is much less than petrol, the engines should last longer and hopefully the resale will be higher.....

Don't buy an E1800 if you want to put a dirtbike in the back. What a FARKING PRICK to get a dirt squirt into. I measured the bike was only 50mm higher than the GN250 I usually put in and the bastard wouldn't go in, mirrors removed. I am loaning my bike trailer to someone tomorrow so had to put the DT into the van. I ended up tying the suspension way down with tie downs and still struggled with the F'ing thing. Need a higher van! Don't think I'll bother trying to get the ER6s inside the van. :cry:

Mate who is borrowing trailer just came around with his 91 Hilux SWB van. Lower floor and higher roof than the Mazda. Looks longer too. :(
