Would you buy another new Euro?

[Jaso]

Hey just here to offer my opinion.

Say if your in the 40-60 k category never before have you had so much choice. It all comes down to what you want out of a car? From what ive read (since i dont own a Euro) the Euro is a good, comfortable daily driver (which is what the majority of us use our cars for the majority of the time).

Im 16 but my parents have owned an array of different cars since they lease them. Ive found that even if its a good car, its nice to have "a change"

In the same segment, the Mazda 6 MPS will give you great performance and handling, as will the Liberty 3.0 Spec B or GT, although neither of them are that quick in a strait line, all of these three have good safety, comfortable and well equiped. I dunno but maybee if you wanted to get another Euro i would wait until the new one arrives, that just a personal thing, i know others wont mind if their car is outdated shortly after they buy it.

Considered the 350Z, RX-8 or S2000...i know that these are hard to find for 60k new but you could consider a near new one with low km? None of them would be as practical as your Euro but im sure they would be rewarding to drive.

Another possibilty is the Audi A4 1.8T?, again you could pick up a near new one, that has low km.

The IS250 is a beautiful car, and has got a nice 150kw V6, and is available in manual.

Then we get to the big cars. The Aurion is a nice package, with the top model (Prescara i think its spelt?) absolutely overflowing with features. Its 200kw V6 is good but compared to others (namely the commodore but more particularly, the falcon) it lacks torque.

Purely on features, the commodore wins hands down, and is very competative to any other car that is around 51-53k (Weyre talking the SS-V series here)

Safety: 6 Airbags, ESP
Performance: 270kw V8, 0-100 in (5.4 ive seen but wheels seems to get 5.7)
Features: Dual zone climate control, leather seats, 11 speaker audio system,...all the fruit.

Ok, as for the quality, yes we have seen two recalls, but hey, even Toyota have had a few recalls in the past couple of years. Theres no shortage of people in this forum who have had quality issuies with their Euro either. Speaking from personal experiance, you could own a commodore and never have a problem with it, or you could own one and have 3 or 4 problems, as for the most recent commodores weve owned, we've hadnt had one problem, just like the toyota's weve owned.

You can say the technology is old, but hey, it works and it gets you to 100 faster than any other car for 50k

At the end of the day, you need to decide what you want from the car, and pick the best overall package that suits you.

Cheers.
