I knew I wanted a wagon after owning a Hilux surf. The space is amazing! But my main decision was V6 or V8. Loved the V8 but I wouldn't use it other than giving it the beans every time and burning petrol.
At the time the SV6 didn't have leather standard and navigation etc that were all extra costs, add them up and its a SSV.... So I waited..... and the Z series came out, so when the time came, I bought the SV6Z Wagon. Love it, right amount of power/economy and cheaper insurance.
But one day, I will get a V8 for some fun, the SS's are cheap now, in the 20's.
But that was my dilemma that lasted for over a year (yes over a year I waited). But I did promise the 1st dealer I went to that I would buy from him. So he was glad to see me after a year
