Territory's in diesel are hard to find lower ks and are disappearing quick
It's been good, in fact I'm trying to replace it and it's difficult to find another SUV or wagon that's as nice to drive without spending a lot of money.

I live in Auckland, which is quite hilly where we live and a DCT would not be fun in traffic. But the Powershift would be better and more economical away from the city.

The auto is fine, changes smoothly except for the very occasional jerk if you close the throttle as it's shifting from 1st to 2nd. In manual mode the torque converter stays locked until very low revs, so you can drive it like a manual if you want.

Only thing is they're getting quite old now and I've had the odd electrical fault in the last couple of years.
