Pathfinder vs Challenger

G'day all,

Been shopping around for a while now for a new 4by. i want one that can do a good job off road (beach work, mundaring powerlines etc.)

I have about $10k to spend and i have narrowed it down to two vehicles, the 2000-2004 Mitsubishi Challenger and the 200-2004 Nissan Pathfinder.

So all in all, im just wondering which one you guys think will be the best off road, best everyday car and most fuel efficient.

i would probably be wanting one on LPG. I am only young so i don't have the most amount of money, so preferably the one that will cost me less to run.

However, off road ability is a big factor in my decision. I have considered bigger vehicles such as Pajero, Discovery, Jackaroo, but they all have wayy too many k's on them and are pretty expensive.

Thanks, James
