what ive heard is that silver cars are the easiest to keep clean and scratches dont show up as much. dont hold me to this- all my friends are guys and i jusy say what ive been told. although the fella that told me this paints cars so im guessing hes correct.
lol
clare i tend to be one of those girls who makes all the boys mad cuz i know more about cars than them :P
mm ren I was thinking a bmw 3 series (even an old model is pretty hot and the prices have become quite decent) for you- they are great to own, look good, safe, last ages and you dont have to service them too much either. Ours has been a dream to own because apart from the odd crash, nothing has gone wrong!
the closest i have been to offroad in the lexus is driving up a curb/grassy patch/through the mud! its a work vehicle so yeh pretty standard.
my mom is making me test drive a bmw z4- god help me! i think it looks like a shoe! (and no- she isnt buying it, i am, she is jsut very opinionated!)

ruru: don't get the z4 it's so very midlife crisis...get another 3 series the newer ones are so hot!
Sebring Convertable, or a Chrysler Crossfire!! They are amazing cars!! But if you want a bigger SUV type of car get a Lincoln Navigator...they are sooo comfortable.
S.Mc.C i thought it was a bit midlife crisis too bt i fgiured witht he top down people wud notice i'm just a kid
my little sis is driving the 3 series and while i love the car, one in the garage is enough :) and i find it a bit, well heavy, for my liking (the lexus is 201kw and even my little crapbox is a decent 3.5L v6) and since i cant afford a 330ci or an M3, i'm just gonna curse the thing :P
i love the crossfire, but they are cheaply made and give problems :(
now im gonna wait 2 months till i come back from canada till i buy somethign

my car is silver and they are the best to keep clean- black is the WORST and red fades the fastest but silver, dirt dont show and you hardly have to wash it!
I'm going to play devils advocate for the hatchback. Compared to the rest of the world, cars in Australia aren't cheap, and I'm not going to assume you want to spend more than $35k on a fast depreciating asset at this point in your life. If you're seriously cashed up, or your lifestyle could accommodate a sportier car, let me know, we'll talk that end of the market ;)
Premium small cars
Europeans depend heavily on small cars, so they're typically very well appointed, very good on fuel and hold high levels of safety. Prices range from $25-45k, depending on configuration (sedan, 2 & 4 door configurations - auto, convertible and diesel definitely put the price up, but are worth considering). They've also got a bit of attitude that will help them stand out. Reliability can be a gamble; you want good dealer support and a good warranty!
BMW 1 Series
Alfa 147
Mini Cooper
Citroen C4
Volkswagen Golf
Peugeot 207
Volvo C30
Fresh faces
New cars coming in the next few months, so they'll be the current for the next 4-7 years and do well on their value.
Renault Clio
Mazda 2
Subaru Impreza (New sedan and hatch, has the benefit of being the only AWD in this bunch)
Toyota Corolla (Just announced this week. Excellent feature set, hatch designed in France, sedan designed in Japan - unfortunately made in South Africa)
Frugal
If you're after economy, small diesels like the VW Polo TDi will cost you about $10,000 less than your average hybrid (Honda Civic, Toyota Prius) and get similar fuel economy. It'll hold its value well and be really light on your pocket, week to week.
VW Polo TDi (The baby Golf. The cheapest car here, and the best fuel economy by a mile)
