Whats your budget? I agree the toyota would/should be very reliable, decent in the snow and not brilliant off road. If thats what youre after its a good choice. I personally would avoid the nissan. If your budget can stretch to it you should consider the skoda yeti 4x4. badge snobbery aside...

I got rather sozzled at the ale festival on wednesday. The Counting house in Glasgow had 12 ales on which all got sampled then went to The Crystal Palace that had another 6 on including Abbots Confession at 8.5% that they'd only sell in half pints.
