We have one, not sure what year model etc it is but it's a manual turbo diesel with auto windows i don't drive it that much, I rarely drive at all these days. It is big, but if you're driving it regularly it won't take long to get used to it. I think the only thing DF doesn't like (he uses it more than me) is the double back doors, rather than the singular back door like the Prado's and other 4wd's have. It can be a pain having to open/close both doors, but again I guess you would get used to it. Was great when we first got it, we did a road trip with DD who was a few months old and put our dog in the very back. Managed to squish the pram alongside him and stuffed all our luggage/DD's stuff in still with a bit of room to spare. No way would it have all fit in our commodore! Lol
