Cheaper to buy, and cheaper to maintain than a diesel . Only downside is resale value. They don't hold their price like the diesel models.

Ended up pulling the trigger on a brand new GX with 2.8l diesel. Get it in a couple weeks. Pretty excited...first decent vehicle.

Thought about the petrol but it's only available in VX with the new model and the budget already doubled so another 10k was too much. Not fussed on leather either - always hot or cold.

What do you figure a litre of diesel actually costs if you figure in road charges and maintenance?
