What newish car have you bought and would you reccomend it?

[PinkPalace]

We might have to get a new car soonish.
ANd hate buying used cars as seem to always get stung!

We wouldnt be able to spend more than $10-15k and want a car that will last at least another 10 years..

Any reccommendations (4 door and big enough for 2 baby seats)...

My favourite cars are Mazda's and Subaru's - so have a look at them.

Car Point is a great website for car searching!

Any one driven one of them?

We have a mitsi Outlander. Previously I had a Lancer. I love both of them and would highly recommend a Mitsubishi. We have 380s as police cars and they seem to stand up to the way they are treated, so they can't be too bad. They are quite comfy, but a little bit gutless if you need to push them (not that a mum's going to push them as hard as we do).

If your DH is tall, a Subie might not be the best way to go. My DH is 6'2" and didn't fit into them comfortably at all.

me and DF's first car was a 2005 holden vz sv6 was 21 grand 2 years ago prob less now, fuel consumption was great, big inside, had all the extras, big boot and still stylish and new, zupps holdens are the best we have bought 3 cars from that company.

Dh isnt tall so that isnt a issue haha

The mitsu 380 was $14000 for a 2007 (incl 5 yr warranty) which i thought was pretty good ?

We have looked at a few commodores but i guess for our budget they seem to all be over 150000km and we really didnt want that many kms on a car
