Of the x2 the Mitsi is the better looking, neither are oil paintings. I don't know loads about the Nissan though, but I considered the VR4. Seems a nice package and certainly family motoring at pace. I would imagine it to be more expensive to run than the scoob. 4500 mile service intervals IIRC.

Thats stunning... Can you do that face lift ? If so I may sway towards the nissan

Not too concerned about the service inervals as my milage is quite low and I can either do it myself, or my friend owns his own garage.

Scooby is light and nimble, but im not much of a b-road racer (wrapped a car up badly in one years ago) so most of my driving is on the motorway, dual carrigeway or on main roads.
Stilll love the scooby though

Theyll both do 12 to the gallon! Why do you need such large, fast estate cars: are you a necrophiliac??? If so, then youll be able to fit a coffin in both and make a fast getaway (explained for the confused...). Id opt for the Nissan, but theyre far from the 'GT-R estate car' that some people will have you believe.....

Yeah kinda figured it wouldn't be as quick as the skyline, but as long as its got a bit of poke thats fine

Its to be my daily driver so has to be half sensible. I like fast cars, large cars and make a lot of use of estate's.. anything that wont fit in my car has to go in my landy at the moment.. and its a bit thirsty on juice!

I do like them but I have already had a scoob.. I am also trying to own as many engine types as possible (something to do).. So far I have str8 4, v6, v12, Boxer, v8 (own the engine but its not in a vehicle yet). SO may go for the nissan simply as it has a str8 6
