Okay, God forbid, something happens to your beloved KJ CRD tomorrow. What would you replace her with? I just started thinking about this the other day and couldn't come up with an answer. JK CRD not available to me. Class 2 and 3 diesels use a bit too much fuel for DD duty Jetta TDI? Can't drive offroad. If I didn't drive offroad, I'd think about it. Used KJ CRD? Probably most likely option if I could find one. What new vehicle would you replace the KJ CRD with right now? What used vehicle would you replace the KJ CRD with right now? |

Probably the Mitsubishi Pajero 3.2L Diesel and that's only because of the DC future relationship uncertainty and the resale value of the Jeep brand. |

Another KJ CRD. I've never bought a new car, and I probably never will. |

That's a beaut of a vehicle, are they not available in the US because of emissions

The proposed US version would use the 2.0 TDi engine in the current 2009 Jetta and Golf TDi models which are 50-state legal now. So there's no reason why the tiguan wouldn't meet emissions with the same engine. The US spec Tiguan TDi is supposed to get 35+ mpg avg too. |

I see you're running 245's on your 17" rims without a lift. Have you had any problems with the 245's, i need to replace the stock 235's soon and was considering the 245/65/17's but i don't have a lift. |

Well if you were in the market for a Tiguan you might as well get a RAV 4 or a BMW X3 or a Honda CRV. All useless full IFS/IRS vehicles. They don't even call them all terrain anymore overhere, they are now 'allroad capable' vehicles. So all the roads that lead to the Mall. 
I'd get a 1) JK CRD ( sorry, we do have 'm ) 2) another KJ CRD |

If it's VW then a Touareg for me otherwise i still think the Pajero is in a class of its own. |

Thanks, edited and corrected, Touareg it is but not with those rims and tyres, post a pic of the model that ran in the Paris to Dakar, a JK would look the same with those rims and tyres on

I'd get a 1) JK CRD ( sorry, we do have 'm ) 2) another KJ CRD I don't have time to do as much offroading as I would like anyway. As much as I enjoy the KJs capability and off-road prowess, I really don't need that capability 98% of the time. |
