My wife wanted a new car,
she didn't want a golf,
So she went for another flat four.

Kim is very happy with it mate,

I have to wrestle the keys out of her hands.

Just wait till i lower it and stick some 17's under it.

Then i will have no chance of getting the keys out of her hands:P:P

Yup - seems if ya got or had a flat four VW then you go to a Scooby Doo - great fun with the sales rep when they go on about the boxer flat four :blah:blah:blah:blah and then you tell them well the Japs or FHI (Fuji Heavy Industries) have never developed an engine - they take others and refine then and do a good job but don't boast about copying the authentic flat four :cussing Shit it shuts them up quick when you tell them my other car is an aircooled VW so we know out boxer engines:duh

I got 550km from the last tank of fuel,
that was part high way, part city.

by the way the fuel tanks are 60l.

..... so many new 4x4's on the road over the long weekend...all shiny and not leaving bitchemen....some hardly leave the city......I hope you guys are gunna go off road...or at least use them as they should be....

I'd go for an old Land Rover if I went that way...luv the look....

Have people gone past he van/bus as a people mover these days...that's what most women driving them in the city use them for....

The new ones just aren't doing it for me...guess you do get sick of the Toorak tractors in town..

What is the rational these days...why do you go for the shiny plush ones??

I just need to know...

It must be exciting though getting the new car...enjoy it 🙂

Mmmmmmmm 4x4,

i don't class the forester as a 4x4, i see it as an all wheel drive.
Difference?

4x4's you take down the beach and belt through the bush in,

AWD you feel safe in when driving in adverse conditions and inclament weather and you also feel safe knowing that your loved ones are safe in it too. Yes you can take them off road, but no where near the extent of a land cruiser of patrol.

yer was about to say that , AWD not 4WD
mine take premium fuel as well so it just get worse
turbo 2.5 sucks the juice
you get about 50km's more than i and you would be using unleaded
but fark it goes hard
