Well, after reading all the reviews both here and the US sites and confirming that it was probably the best buy in this range of car, I went and ordered a VTi auto in sparkle grey. I filled out an inquiry on discountnewcars and faithfully the local dealer in NSW contacted me with the price. Needless to say he started with the 26500 rrp and I reminded him as to what was the point of being referred by another website which offered discounts. After several minutes of discussion, the phone price came down to 26000 and that was it. A week later I went to the dealer to start settlement negotiations. After an hour of haggling with the sales guy and the sales manager, I managed to get a genuine set of carpet mats & premium plates included for the price of 25500. Stock of the autos is very limited and dealers are selling what they get in several days but you take the colour that is available unless you are prepared to wait. Orders are up to the end of April. You can get a great deal on the manual accross the range and you will certainly get a better deal than me. I will be getting the new one next week. I don't know but certainly but I believe that rego, s/duty is cheaper in VIC & QLD so you guys from should be getting better prices on road that us in NSW.

Reason: wrong end price
Thats the sad bit. The two tone previously looked good,
Anyone missed the rear armrests?. Its shown in the sales catalogue for the sport
the 2007 sport i sat in yesteryday it did not have a rear armrest, i remember that distinctly as i thought thats a shame. You are probably referring to 2006 catalogue as there is none for 2007 yet.
