All I would say is consider the fuel! I went from my scoob to a navara and although I did love it and it would still get about quickly it would drink the derv! Hot hatch is the way forward :)

Many thanks for all your replies so far everyone. This is what i love about the club, everyone pours in their two pence on the subject. I can understand both sides of the story, yes it is a great car that i love, and there's nothing that a bit of money (albeit i'll have to save up a bit) it is a totally different kettle of fish compaired to the MR2 and the mini previous. 6 cylinder, 3 litre combo is so horn worthy and the looks speak for themselves. but again it's worrying about other drivers. Like when i parked my MR2 up one day, i came back and i had a crease on the door that i wasn't chuffed about. Imagine if that happened to the Supra (which it would likely happen given it's width) Also not forgetting i'm planning my aus trip for hopefully may/june 2012 so the money i'd save from selling the old girl and buying a Pajero would give me a huge head start, and i can then start monging about offroad which to be honest would satisfy the child behaviour in me :D and there are a few bp owners with 4x4's so a meet up and greenlane is possible :nod: <O:p
