Ok, so like most car obsessed people I am the usual go-to for advice for any family or friends who are looking for a car.
My uncle emailed me asking for some advice , he is looking at spending 40grand on a new Maxima to replace his old Verada. I have steered him towards instead the following: Falcon G6 EcoLPI, G6 Ecoboost and a Territory TX diesel RWD. He will save a lot in fuel over the Maxima and they will be a much better drive and also help support local Ford production - which he appreciates somewhat. The thing is, he won't test drive them (he was just going to order the Maxima without even sitting in it) he will order from a small dealer and he thinks they won't have any in stock. His driving is mostly freeway and he is in early sixties, he also sometimes tows a very small box trailer. Has anyone got any real world expierence across the three? I own a EcoLPI so I'm comfortable vouching for it, but I feel in sedan form Ecoboost is probably better due to spare wheel issue. Obviously Territory is also a great choice. I've read some reviews, but am curious as to the real world differences across the three. |
