SRT8 stock is brutal. You can kill most everyday cars cuz it has so much torque. Plus it has more character than patrol or FJ's (which are so common nowadays esp the riced up ones with matt black paint).

Patrol though is nissan so more reliable but hey I own a G35 and will be moving onto a SRT8 as well in a few months. Am also tried of sports cars.

Patrol: Basically, if you're going for the Patrol, make sure its the 2005-2007 one because the latest doesnt look that mean. This is a general opinion around here although the latest interior and features are fab.

Pros: Modification is necessary if you demand presence and muscle. Japanese, so that means easy parts and good resale. Incredible ride height.

Cons: Is a bit common compared to the SRT8 and lacks bling-blingability

Jeep SRT8: The SRT8 surely has presence and even the stock version has a mean growl and incredible performance. Best in black.

Pros: TORQUE TORQUE TORQUE.... this beast just whoops almost anything. Looks sportier too.

Cons: Expensive parts and low resale

FJ: Like everyone said, its too common. But a decent TRD version with bigger tires, neat paintjob and chrome kit really changes its looks.

Pros: Comparitively cheaper than the Patrol or SRT8. Easy both on and off road. Easy parts, good resale

Cons: Limited braggin rights

However, all of these are on totally different price ranges and it all depends on how much you'll want to modify them. The SRT8 stands out, the Patrol has more usability and the FJ is cheap. Wish you all the best bro!!!

The Patrol's trying to hard but the tacky wooden accents give it away.Also the HU should have been integrated in the space between the a/c vents if it really comes like that.The Jeep interior looks slick to me because it serves the purpose while looking neat with the leather seats.

Patrol is heavy and slow not something for speed with but its a go anywhere/tow anything car and thats the good part about it.. Nice and comfy car for traveling long distances if not offroading.. If you enjoy riding a simple, bouncy and old fashioned SUV then the patrol is fit for you... & good resale value ofc..

RR's are expensive to maintain at the dealers, friend had the LR3. They have lots of problems with the air ride suspension (get leaks etc) and loads of people change it back to traditional springs lol That is still alot of money for a car with 80 thousand KM's on it...

Like the other guys have said, the patrol is slow and comfortable (driven a manual one, i know how slow they are :wink: ) FJ's are everywhere, if you go that route try and get the TRD supercharged one for a bit of fun. And the SRT8 is a nice car, another friend has one, interior is nice aswell. Only problem i'd see is if on long journey's you got tired of the exhaust drone, its quite loud in the cabin (they might have sound deadened it now on the new ones, friends was a 2007. Oh and the Brembo's are expensive at the dealer aswell
