Australia's Best mid sized Car 2004 - not the Euro

**Thorn2004** · 12-11-2004 04:42 PM

They are obviously on some pretty serious drugs, I mean wtf? Below average for practicallity? What are they taking? There is HEAPS of room, both in the front and the back, especially for the size of the car, I am 6ft 2 inches tall and I have plenty of room for my legs too. The boot is large and spacious, the seats fold back, there is mounts for a boot net, what the hell else do they want?

Regarding the resale, they are still taking those wacky pills, I have seen 2003 Accord Euro's still selling for mid to high 20 thousands up to 30 grand, infact Honda's in Generall seem to hold their value extremely well because they are not fleet car's!

Lastly the security is lower than the Liberty? There is a security alarm and a engine immoboliser as standard, I thaught the idea behind a security rating was how hard the car is to steal, the fact that Suburu used data dots on the Liberty says to me that they have a history of being stolen, and those data dots arn't going to stop the car from being stolen!

Stupid Commodore drivers !

I can't believe it. The whole thing's a joke. Mazda 6's as quiet as a Euro? Gimme a break. The Liberty has a much weaker engine too. Makes you wonder if they even tested the cars.

all the way

Yeah and their Ford Motors too, don't even get me started on Ford made motors, I worked for Ford for 6 years

Looking at the latest sales stats the Euro was outselling its competitors in the Prestige market with a total market share of 27.9 percent!

Here is a link http://www.polk.com.au/webamr/ click on latest automotive news for the sales stats!

Geez and there is a 3 month wait on the Euro's at the moment according to my dealer, all those people who must be wrong, amazing eh?

Kinda makes you think. People have good taste at sydney i guess. In new castle there are a few around here but in sydney they are basically every where.

I forgot to mention we also got a below average for fuel consumption. What the?

What is so good about the Mini Cooper 1.6 pricing to rate a 5? It is quite expensive for what you get.

Oh - and the "environment" gets a critical weighting whereas braking and lots of other important factors to buyers only get "high". Hmmm - that is nice but how many buyers honestly factor the enviornment into their decision - (some do) but very few in Australia because so many people want 5.7 litre V8 Commodores...

Right, I should go show them how to drive the car economically...What BS is this about bad economy..

Oh and practicability? Don't they know the Euro comes in Wagon form?

GeeeZusssss......

We all know the truth

thats all that matters!

Let those naive people have their Subaru's!

**VirIIx** · 13-11-2004 10:57 AM

think of it this way..

at least we won't have many wankers driving and giving us euro owners a bad name.. it's best to leave the glorified cars to the wankers and all sorts who want to be "in".

so be thankful in some ways

oh.. and yes.. wagon and AWD too i believe!! so Subaru can go eat it
