I've got a 95 magna as a daily driver. Wouldn't tow a greasy stick out of a pigs bum, stalls every time you put the a/c on, uses far too much juice for what it is, I get passed by everything except 72 valiants, but every Ceo I have picked up from the airport (hundreds if them, possibly even thousands.... oh and a couple of super models, the Dali lama and the pope) reckons it's great. Megan gale said "I like it, makes you look like your not a pretentious fwit". Who could argue with Megan.
Given the choice between driving a 95 Magna and slamming my dick in a desk drawer I'd probably opt for the drawer. It'd be close to call though and might depend of if it was an auto or a manual.

definately a manual mike-I think Mitsubishi ran out of replacement auto trans very early on. Most threw a few cogs out the back driving out the car lot.
Years ago work put us all through a Murcotts driver training day at Sandown race course. I was understandably looking forward to it until I went to the car park to grab one of the pool cars to take and all that was left was the 1989 Magna wagon.
(An Automatic too)

Hey Boxhead,
the Terrritory is not bad as a tow car, in its 3 years of life we changed the front ball joints 3 times, diff mounts, have numerous bits fall off it, with the dual zone air con one end is hot and the other is cold.
Draged our Van from Franston VIC back home and we used 4 tanks of fuel, thats 288ltrs of fuel.
We are in the process of getting rid of it and good riddens, the front now has developed a sqeall like pulling a greased stick out of a pigs bum over every bump.
We are looking at the Landrover D4, test drove the diesel prado today... sorry but not impressed for the price.
Phil

The Disco 4 is seriously nice. I'd love one to replace my Disco 2. The Disco 3 got 4x4 of the year in heaps of magazines and the Disco 4 is an evolution of that platform. More power from a 3L TD motor, 6 speed auto and really nicely appointed. The styling on disco 3/4 divides opinions but I'm in the camp that thinks they look great.
Land Rover have always had some neat suspension technology and they make you look like you know what your doing off road. It's surprising what they will get through or over.
One thing I like about the disco 4 is the anti trailer sway program in the stability control. I reckon this would be a real bonus for anyone towing their pride and joy along behind. Years ago I was nearly shoved off the road by a swaying car trailer behind an XA Falcon ute (brown trousers time). every time you got to 80Ks plus it started getting a whip up.
I found this little vid on you tube. The Disco 4 is towing a trailer with a Defender on it. The whole thing would have to weigh easy 3500KG.
Cheers
