Fashion Forum

Im thinking not too bubbly, not too chunky either, not a hatch back, not red. Thats all i know, im hopeless with cars! Any suggestions? thanks!

What's your budget?

My second favorite subject =)

Dollar range? What features in a car are important to you, or are desirable? Considering second hand at all?

Convertible, sun roof or neither?
European, Australian, Asian?
Do u want comfort or appeal?
Are you planning a family in the near future?
Do you go out alot & therefore need room for friends or is a coupe ideal?

oh gawd- i have the SAME problem (for the last SIX months!) I can't decide what car to get! so far I have nearly bought a honda s2000 and a mazda rx8
i dont want a hatchback either! or a family car. or a car too old for somebody 21! maybe a h3.. but they are huge.

Ren it really depends what you want in the car- do you want fast or practical or flashy? and how much do you have to spend?

if your looking at a new car, have you seen the new holden epicas? im not much of a holden fan, but i love these. They are sedans, 5s manual or auto, the only thing that sucks is they only come in front wheel drive :(. Holden have gotten rid of the Vectras, and replaced them with this. They are sold in europe, but as Chev's. It's the 'mid size' range, so petrol consumption is pretty good and its not a massive car . you can choose from the 2.0 litre or 2.5- both 6 cylinder but its apparently as economical as a 4. Epica CDX 2.0: 8.2L/100km
Epica CDXi 2.5: 9.3L/100km
at some stage they will relase a 4 cylinder diesel. the CDX is the 2 litre and comes in 5 speed man. the CDXi (2.5) only comens in auto atm. this one also had a sports bodykit, fog lamps and 17' alloys. ooo and holden have invented a new colour called 'morpheous' that you ca nget it in, but i have no idea what it is. Apparently the saftey standards in this are out this world too! like in an accident, the dash is designed to break before your legs do, if youur legs were to becomes stuck. its got 6 airbags too, curtain included, and the airbags have sensors to detect what seepd your crash at and how far they need to pop out. they also detect if you have a passenger. the seat belt also does something but i cant remeber exactly what. brand new starts at $24,000
if your into fourbies look at the new 3.0 turbo diesel rodeo :) i swear im not a holden girl! they are just brining out some pretty good cars atm !


ruru the H3's arent that big!! the H2's are the big ones. H3's are in between Territory size and the old land rovers. they are beasty :)

lol. yes i have been in a h3 before. they are the size of a jeep grand cherokee but i currently am driving a 4x4 for work (lexus rx350) and even with a reversing camera and the fact that its not a real 4x4, its still HUGE. I dont liek the holden epica because its more family carish and not really that great looking and pretty much boring! My lil old bmw 3series has more airbags than that and better safety stuff too (sister recently got taken out by a fire-truck and the car did pretty well!)also i'm not sure if you know this, but the epica is a daewoo with a holden badge on it :P and its a front wheel drive

i knows its FW thats why i wouldnt want one. what ive been told was that is a crozz between the Vectra and a friggin Pontiac?!?!?! lol ive been duped havent i? persoanlly i dont thinks its that bad looking with the CDXi bodykit- its beasty as. I dont know about that saftey stuff though- the epica really does have high saftey standards, they spent more on saftey than anything else in it, although no ESP.IMO the epica kills an old beema in the looks department with or without a BK. it may be a bit plain looking but not ugly. i think of it more as a luxury car. Its only midsized- if it was a family car it'd be full sized. i think of staions wagnon as a family cars for some reason.
what i was saying about the hummers that if you look at H2 and H3- the 3 is still big but considerably smaller than a 2 and if someone was already used to driving a big car it wouldnt make a difference to them.
Im guessing you dont use you 4x4 for off road use do ya??if by any chance you do is it any good? oops i see you wrote its not a real 4x4. does that mean its not good for offroad? i know fuck all about lexus.
if you do take it off road i can tell you some fun 4x4 tracks!!!!
im getting all exited now!! yay

This has BMW 3 series written all over it...or maybe a Volvo s40, they are lovely and less than a Beemer.

At any rate, they both come in "not red"...I think black is hot, but it's also hot in the summer...so maybe white or a nice navy

your right ruru i went and looked it up it is a daweoo!!! plus they are making it in korea aswell! haha my 'car nut' mate dead set beleives its a cross between the other 2. im printing this as proof. and he'll be esecially upset when i tell him i learned it from a GIRL!!!! hahahahahahahahahahah
