too cheap?

Including Lada Nivas but not SJ410s.

I think I'd even rather have an SJ.

They're just like a Rav, in that they're crap on-road and you look like an utter tit driving one, but they differ from a Rav in that they're good off- road.

Ok, seems it's as japanese as sake, though it has some interesting kind of AV unit in it.

So, should it be cheaper? Cos I still likes the look of it :P

If it's a jap-spec head unit, the FM tuners work on a different range...

Suggestions for a non-SUV alternative to the Range Rover for towing up to 3 tonnes would genuinely be welcomed. And whilever the government imposes such high charges, directly or otherwise, on the ownership, as against use, of cars, I'll keep using it as an everyday car even when I'm not towing.

So the short answer is yes , it should be cheap, the long answer is "if it's what you want buy it & don't worry about it"

There is a place for them, like for towing as you said. But as an every day vehicle around town?

range...

Maybe that's what the stuck-on plastic antenna things are for in the back windows? Weird sheets of plastic.

Hmmm..

They won't affect the tuner range.

Jap-spec FM uses a non-standard FM range (76-90 against the international

88-108), so the tuner will only get very very very few UK stations, if any, without either being swapped out or having a band-extender installed. Japan doesn't use RDS, either.

Not a UK publication, but it describes the problem well :-
