Navara is the one with the airbags that will finish you off in a crash isn't it?
I'd prefer the Astravan.

iv driven quite a few, a million times better than warriors and hilux's in my opinion.
try and go for the aventura model as like said above it has sat nav full leather and quite a few other goodies.
theres a black one going round my way and every bit of chrome is now black along with the standard rims and badges, looks wicked.

think there is a recall reprog out now for that issue. When its retested it should be ncap 3star instead of 1star, which is fairly good as far as trucks go.
