Im leaning towards the Hyundai now. Break out the brown cardigan

Do you always have this indecision problem, Dear? Do you have the same dilemma with ovens, cars for teenagers, furniture and lawnmowers for example? Goodness me, all that after putting your arse on the line in some God forsaken Country. This is intolerable Dear after you've done so much assisting them with AIDS, and UXOs. You still haven't told us which Country put you through all this torture Dear. Did you forget?

Getting a 2nd hand one ?

Mitsubishi ............

I have heard of good reports about Hyundai diesels.
Most SUVs are possibly better on a 'small' 4 cyl diesel than a 'big' 4 cyl petrol.

Hyundai make their own sheet metal and autos I also heard.

Toyoto are the most over rated car on the road. I've owned about twenty five cars in my life and the only two that had motors die were Toyoto.

Mitsubishi probably are underrated given they are Japanese made. Let's face it not too many cars that come out of Japan are dogs.Although you have to be careful some of the cheaper models of the Japanese cars are being made in India and Thailand now. Call me a snob but I'm buggered if I'm paying Japanese prices for a Thai made car. A work mate said to me just the other day that her brother was a mechanic and that he cringes every time a European car is driven into his workshop. Over priced overrated and over here. His comment to her was always buy a Japanese or Korean car. Hyundai seem to have a pretty good name for themself nowadays. I've only ever driven one for a couple of days when I hired an i30 in Cairns for some day trips. It seemed pretty good for a small car but my greatest memory of it was how economical it was.

yes, european cars are wildly overrated.

Did you see my 'marketing fail' post ?

We cycle most weekends.
Other weekend cycled up to a new business, 'German car specialist.' it said on the building.
'Good idea' I thinks, while cycling closer. A repair shop that specialises in repairing german cars.
They have a courtesy car parked out the front.
It's all painted well, signs on it, addresses, contact phone #, email addys.

Guess what make the car is ?
Yep, a Toyota Camry.
