    I've had an LDV G10 people mover for over three years, clocked 69,000+ in that time without any issues - not even worn brake pads, despite going up and down Adelaide's lengthy and steeply descending Southern Expressway daily!

    Hey Shannon, thanks for your videos on the D90, mate. I'm going to be ordering one in the next 6 months or so, so it's great to hear people's real-world experiences, both positive and negative. Even with the little niggles, it's hard to go past the price of the D90, especially when you look at the stupid prices that Land Cruisers are going for second-hand in Australia.

    • @RadRoadAdventures
      @RadRoadAdventures  2 года назад +1

      Thanks Carl, it's the same over here, 2010 landcruiser with 300000km is about the same price as a new D90. No factory warranty etc. As you would have heard me mention, get some reviews on aftersales, after knowing the trouble same buyers have has in Aus its more about poor customer service rather than the D90 being a concern with things aren't as they should be.

    I bought a new D90 from Christchurch dealership end Dec 2021, they are friendly as and happy with the vehicle, still enjoying it. Only a minor issue i.e. the Auto start-stop is not working so far, will get it rectify during my 1st service.

    Ha! Great review. Being a surfing family, 2 kids and a dog l, I feel much more comfortable when I slide into gates/fences/ruts off road as opposed to doing it in a Prado or Land-cruiser. This car kills it off road. I’m nit going to pay $50-$70 grand for a reliability reputation. Not in 2024. You may not like it but Chinese are doing some good stuff. But her, my grandfather served in the war an ended up buying a Toyota! 😂

    I was going through some video reviews, and I had come across that it makes raving sounds while going down the hill.
    Secondly, I saw that whill auto stop-start button is on, it has a 2min delay to start the engine which could be frustrating while seating on a busy area.

    • @mdshabbirabdullah8341
      @mdshabbirabdullah8341 11 месяцев назад +1

      Also, the brakes have a squeaky sounds

    • @RadRoadAdventures
      @RadRoadAdventures  11 месяцев назад

      Not sure about these issues, the D90 has no engine breaking so if you change down it only revs without the result of slowing the vehicle, you must use the breaks. Start stop doesn't work if the aircon is on therefore it never works but when it does there is no delay. Squeaking breaks would be something you would get checked, I've not had sqeaky breaks

    • @bonza6451
      @bonza6451 11 месяцев назад

      The start/stop feature is completely pointless in any vehicle. The fact it doesn't work often i consider a benefit. The fuel savings are negligible and you need a bigger battery with cars that have it

    Awesome review, just watched your first one a moment ago, will go back and like. I've been watching a lot of reviews on the D90 and yours was the first I could find that talked about towing a van, which is what we will be doing a lot of in Australia.
    You mentioned Monsoon Shields in your video. What are they?
    Did you end up getting under body protection?
    Any other updates in the last 2 years?

    • @RadRoadAdventures
      @RadRoadAdventures  5 месяцев назад +1

      Hi Ian
      Monsoon sheilds are over each window so rain doesn't enter when down a small amount. We got the underbody protection from Australia, custom off-road. We have had an issue with a sensor and our DPF, only when towing, very frustrating as the service department cannot seem to fix the issue. That is ongoing but other than that a brilliant vehicle

      About 1.8T, we load the D90 with family of 6, two dogs, 4 bikes on the roof racks and it handles the weight easy, the 8 speed gearbox and the power work very well. It's a got a good 4x4 system, low range and rear diff lock. Does well off road but it has a long wheel base and the running boards can get caught on objects

      When it comes to a 5 seater there are so many options both new and on the used car market. We purchased a new vehicle because nothing compared for 3rd row passenger space. I do like Kia and Hyundai if your not towing a heavy trailer, a used Sorento or Santa Fe for 5 seats for me.

    I'd get a lift kit for it. The car looks great but maybe a little low for any serious off-roading. That said it really depends on what sort of driving you mostly do. A lift kit changes the handling and if you don't go on the rough stuff enough it might not be that worth it.

    • @RadRoadAdventures

    Did the throttle controller fix the lag issues?

      It improved it but didn't eliminate it.
      The only time it's an issue is a rolling start like when you're at a giveaway or roundabout. Take off is okay and accelerating to overtake etc is fine.

      Depreciation will be the biggest cost I think owning this car. You can get the current executive update in Australia for $30k with 10k kms. Once they are out of warranty, half that again.
      I think selling one of these second hand won't be fun. Nor will be chasing parts for one, being so few on the road.
      Their size is very appealing though, matched to that engine power and transmission.
      So it's something to consider before buying one
