Nellie, some models of Chevs are rebadged Aussie Holdens!! No kidding!!  BTW if you are thinking of spending the amount above on a new car why don't you consider a second hand 4wd? |

Oh, dear, this is all becoming so confusing!  I'd love to buy a 4WD as it gets me higher to see around me in the traffic... but I want to be sure I have reliability as I have to drive quite a distance each day... and so if I'm looking at a more recent model vehicle... I haven't seen any 4WDs very cheap... at the same time, I'm thinking of going for a second hand smaller car and so that also limits me. Ideally I want a car driven by one person (preferably expat woman driver?) with a full service history. Am renewing my rental on a week by week basis and so now feel perhaps I can go and do some driving (including 4WDs I think)... so off to the automall sometime next week to do some serious investigation (thanks for the costs of the new cars).
cheers and thanks
Nellie
ps being Australian I do find that funny about the Chev... I used to drive a Ford and it had a Mazda engine... will definitely investigate the chevys further as well |

Can't wait for the replies to that comment!!
In my opinion I'd go for a second hand 4wd so, like you said, you have a better view in traffic, but also you can go to the beach and drive on the sand. Also with road work etc you can quite often have to drive over a curb (eg, Mercato...when will it end???) just to get to the car park to park. Sometimes you end up parking in some sandy vacant lot too. In the long run if you want to get out and about a 4wd is probably your best bet. Cheers!! |

| Actually, I'm keeping it! It's nice to drive and has a fearsome horn....plus it has reversing sonar (a prereq. for all woman drivers so they can apply makeup and reverse at the same time....besides his mirrors have lights so you can see how your makeup will look inside!! -Americans they think of everything!!-warm seats, cup holders and makeup mirrors!! ) |
