leesmithg Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Germans and Italians build the best cars, so no need to compare and contrast Aussie cars. I always thought they drove ut's (ewts).

ninjakarl Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I always thought they drove ut's (ewts). It's a 'ute' or you'd call it a utility. And no, we don't all drive them, only people who need them for work tend to. As for my favourite car, dunno, I don't pay much attention to cars except for if I see something nice while I'm riding to/from school or just about. I don't think I'll be going for my license too soon, not with our new **** house P plater laws.

brook20 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Australian cars are the some of the worst cars in the world. I have a 97 falcon and I have spent more on repairs then I paid for the car!

freeeekyyy Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Germans and Italians build the best cars, so no need to compare and contrast Aussie cars. I always thought they drove ut's (ewts). Maybe in the past. In recent years, Benz, VW, and Audi have been some of the crappiest cars made. Much, much worse than any American or Korean car, based on reliability ratings.

I have not seen one tough European car... ever. Australia's car lovers like big, fast, tough cars that look good. - Falcon - Big, Fast, Looks - Commodore - Big, Fast, Looks Forever... they have always been like that.

Swift_Monkey Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I have an old VL Holden Commodore. I think they were Built around 1986. :unsure: Only major repair I have had done is a new Gearbox with a few minor engine repairs here and there. So I would have to say that Holden would be the Best built cars. My Father is on his 5th (Yes 5th) Ford in 6 years.

My old man's a mechanic, he used to work for RACQ, and has told me, Commodores are one of the worst cars on the road. He now works on Falcons all day, everyday, and hasn't got a bad thing to say about them. In cars though, its really how you look after them.
