I'll be clear up front, I am not knocking dual cabs, it is just the ownership of this dual cab over the last 5 years has had too many compromises.
Some of the things that we have found over the last 5 years with it are;
- If we have bought anything of size, we have found that it will not fit into the dual cab and I have had to go back with the Falcon ute and pick it up.
- We permanently have two car seats in the back seat so there is not a lot of room left. When the wife goes grocery shopping, she finds it difficult to undo and do up the tonneau cover. Also the shopping slides around in the tub and she has to half climb into the tub area to retrieve it.
- Speaking of shopping, the wife does not like the idea of putting our food in the same place where some sort of funky stuff that I took the dump was sitting the previous day.
I'll leave it at three. If I was to list everything people would get bored or see the size of the post and not read it at all.
We are sort of in the market for a new car with the only thing holding us back is waiting times for new cars, yes, I am impatient and not willing to wait 12 months for anything.
Our next car will most likely not be a dual cab. |
and here in lies Franco's other pet hate - SUV's
)he young/single and all will go through it one day IF and when the time comes haha)
All the above I agree re the dual cab fors and against, specially for the wife.
Mine actually loved being behind the wheel of the hilux (little does she care above all the faults/brakes etcetc) but the CX5 ticks all her box's and pretty much the type of car you'll end up for Nanny PG.
They also have their fors and against but the everyday mummy's/nanny's mean of transport that all that matters.
