  The 2010. Newer car, Bluetooth (forget the GPS, likely the maps are out of date)

    This car has its service due in 3 months and also needs tyre change soon. Would you still suggest 2010?

    GPS i will go for any other tracker, that's not a problem.

      Service is like $200. Needs all 4 tyres or just 2?

        4 tyres

        @danger163: I'd pick the bluetooth. with the price difference, you could offset some of the cost of the new tyres. Not completely, but still. Try looking up the cost of the 4 tyres on Jax

        With the rego expiring in 10 months for the 2010, you'd save on the ctp, no?

        @Leidenia: yeah even i would pick that. But 2009 run is smooth where as 2010 one looked like more ofrough handled.

        @danger163: rough handled as in scratches on the outside,vibrations while driving or noisy?

  do these models have timing belts?

  if so, big bill coming real soon

  factor that into your savings

    They probably have timing chains

      just used that internet thing (it'll never catch on) and you are right, they have chains….which is good

      why do cars still have belts? makes no sense….
