I’m doing this unit at tafe at the moment where I had to choose a product with a moderate degree of buyer decision involvement, being a 4x4er and Nissan fan, I chose the GU Nissan Patrol.

The next step of the assignment is where you guys can help me. I need to interview a few people that have purchased or had experience with this product. So if you have a spare 5 mins could you help me pass this course by answering the questionnaire below. Just reply to the questionnaire or copy and paste it or you can even PM me it.

Bloddy brilliant. Friends have had GQ's and this is the next best thing. I'm an ex-Toyota driver and am absolutly satisfied with the swap. I would not go back. I'm already anticipating the new big TD engine they have to bring out to rival the new Cruiser 4.5 twin turbo one recently released.
