Ferals' car of choice

[Booney]

I have recently had the immense pleasure of having my boss' Volkswagen Passat Station Wagon for a week or so.

I can see why people make the step to Euro if finances permit. 3.5l V6,constant AWD,grip,power and tuned to puuuuuurfection.

A family wagon with full leather,all options and push button gizmo's and 0-100 in under 7 sec. The main difference between this and top of the line Ford/Holdens I have driven is the grip,exceptional grip.

Im a Ford man,I like the look of Holdens but when $$ permit I will be looking Euro I think,those crazy Germans...

la de dah Booney.
You are far too refined for us, the uncouth.

[Booney]

I hate to agree,but......

Perhaps you knowing I gave it back to drive my 07 Mitsubishi Triton and 97 Magna will make you feel better,make me one of the gang again?

[Dogwatcher]

It's not a gang Booney - just a loose collective of people with similar interests.

[Booney]

True,do not term it a 'gang' or we will be restricted as to whom we can or can not assosciate with.

Speaking of cars & the Elizabeth area, I travelled through there today & the roads were busy with 1989 Camrys & Magnas with Mum & four kids . Must have been visiting all the fathers today. Must be busy getting all those kids to all those houses.

BANG! Two in a row!

Just pay attention at Henley Beach Road near Marion Road mate, especially with the Passat LOL.

Yes, that's why the last car I bought was a 7 year old Audi S series - now 12 years old and doing fine. Service once a year, and not much goes wrong.
I may trade up to a 2003 model soon. It is easy to get hooked on real quality.
Just don't buy Italian...

That is because they are one of the easiest cars for the kids to break into & start.

I was about to have a go at you for the Taperoo Gemini .But I know of one at osborne
You would be very surprised at the different cars in the Taperoo area over the last 20 years.Pretty sure up to this year(they moved ) there was a BMW convertable (or whatever there called)living up the street from me.And no it wasn't a trust house .Most of them have newish commodores

As far as new full size family cars go I think Chrysler are easilly the best! Ford-Holden all look the same, yet actual body styling like this remains unmatched for this size car.

Looks tough, but the yanks still build cars with the same quality control Australia had in the 70's, they have a long way to go yet, may as well buy a CL Valiant, XC Falcon or HX Kingswood.

i must admit i have a lazer for a work bus, they are trying to lift the profile of the areas surrounding the port. up here it is the whyalla lazer they are everywhere i think they all come up here to die. you dont want a real flash car to site out on the onesteel site so old small cars are popular for work cars and have a good family car

For bosy styling, I agree. The Chrysler 300C is a bloody good looking car.

However, apparently it's a piece of turd to drive unless you're going in a striaght line everywhere.
