I had a rental Corolla hybrid for a week and really liked it. I reckon a Kluger hybrid could be my next car.

Used some of my coronavirus stimulus to buy this, and have just
renewed my licence after having let it lapse around 20 years ago
(didn't need it, and eventually just got used to not having it).

Paid $1300 with 6 months rego, spent another $500 or so on it to
get it running properly, fix a few minor issues, and buy a few 'upgrades'
such as a dash-cam etc, and now couldn't be happier.

It goes well, stops well, has no rust, runs on the smell of an oily rag
and is a low-mileage car which has spent most of its life with female
owners, so hasn't been thrashed.

It will do me for a while, I think.

BTW, knockers needn't bother - I didn't buy it for you and neither need
nor want your approval.

It certainly makes it easy to find in a crowded car-park, Sprint, that's for sure. Tongue
