I don't reply to half the messages haha. If someone acts for my location, when I put the suburb *every single time* I just ignore them. I…

Haha, we had someone from across the road come over. 10/10 response time

To be fair the map can be wayyyyy off

nomoneynoproblems on I Am in The Market for a PHEV Hybrid under $40K, I Have Almost 250km Run Each Day - 5 Days a Week. Looking for Options

PHEV is great, in the right use case. Just as EV is, and petrol or diesel still is.

Its more theyre excessively complicated, but to be fair all modern cars are complicated. I guess theres a reason why my BMW was way more…

bhubb18 commented on What Exactly Is So Bad about Second Hand Audi?
Nothing more expensive than a cheap euro BUT if youre handy, and know what to look for, theyre not all bad. If youre a novice to cars, and…

Thanks dad

UZS186 is fairly similar to a GS430.

And interiors are showing age, dashes cracking, plastics lifting etc.

Haval is a far cheaper car new, and theres a billion around, so will have no resale. CX5 is tried and tested, and will still be a *good*…

bhubb18 commented on Used Reliable Mid Size SUV under $20k
IMO ASX is too small. My wife has an outback as a family car and the boot is a *lot* deeper than our friends ASX. By the time you put a…

Pretty small boot though. Forester is a good upgrade, bit more power. Outback is another good option but they are pretty big (but then you…

Pretty sure the gearboxes in these are atrocious. My dad had a mondeo, and while it was nice it just never felt like a car that made sense…

Even with long warranties on them, service can be dismal and getting parts is another issue in itself - Let alone questionable build…

Depending on what you're taking ASX might be a little on the small side, but Outlander is a good option too. Boring AF, but fairly good in…

bhubb18 commented on The Slate EV Reveal, New Cheap EV Ute
Based. I loved my jumbuck, was gutless AF but got used as a ute heaps more than most dual cabs I see on the road, was pretty much extra BS…

From that list, a BMW 3 series - assuming M3 wagon or 340i are included in that, and still *relatively* affordable to maintain. Other than…

Well I mean you're comparing a 10k car to a 40k car lmao, of course its going to work out worse.

Well done mate, we're all very proud of you

18" with 31" tyres is still pretty fat sidewall really. And most HTs and ATs will have a good amount of bulge anyway, its not like hes…

AU falcon is the skid car of this current era of hooning

I used to work there and had a few doozies lmao, some cars are just terrible for access (especially if you have big hands). We weren't…

My mum has an XC40, and man I hate that car so much. So many things about it frustrated me and just didn't work logically. Not a good…

In my M135i fuel economy was give or take identical between brands (98 from all) In saying that, I have noticed previously that some of my…

People who want some semblance of resale?

To be fair Toyota seem to be having a run with issues lately too
