Which One Guys ?

Hi guys. New to the forum and moving to New Zealand at the end of this month. Love the look of many of the Legnums and desperately want one. Been in motor trade for some 25 years now and want to know of any handling characteristics or particular problems i should look out for when chosing. Seen many threads discussing fuel consumption,I like me diesels although may try a 2.5 petrol due to diesel problems......or are these discussions isolated cars?
Please help.
Ta very much
Ian
