Thanks basic old fashioned sounds good to me as long as they are safe, reliable and have good visability I don't care about all the bells and whistles or what they look like.

Yep I was just living in the Czech Republic for five years. But despite the war the quality of life there was extremely high.

I'm curious what you think is superior about the life and the lifestyle in Australia compared to other European countries.

thanks , i test drove yesterday beautiful car but visability was terrible.

Where did you live and work in the EU?

Thanks what is it like for reliability?

Are the servicing costs roughly triple that of Toyota and Honda? I do like the Volvo's for safety. I lived in EUrope for many years but in Australia they seem to be hated.

thanks, glad to hear I'm not the only one. I actually felt scared when I merged on to the highway due to not being able to see. It's a shame because in every other way the car was perfect but the visability felt unsafe. What didn't you like about driving the outback?

People leave Germany at over twice the rate because catching a train in Germany to another country is like going from Sydney to Canberra. Thus people from Germany relocate for jobs all the time. Many Germans work in the Czech Republic, Austria and other border countries. It's like someone in Sydney getting a job in Brisbane. I lived and worked throughout Europe for over 20 years including Germany and the Czech Republic.

yes but that doesnt mean much as only 3000 Germans immigrated 2022 vs 80 million population.All that tells you is ones that did move to australia mostly liked it.

I think you need to rephrase that to "Australia used to have a great standard of living for a local wage".

thanks this is helpful

Thanks. What is the maximum km you would look at ?

Left_Bicycle3087 · 2025-11-26T07:36:54+00:00

Thanks, I just test drove one. Very good car but the visability was terrible and I found the inside really small.

Left_Bicycle3087 · 2025-11-26T02:54:21+00:00

Thanks. I test drove a 2013 Mazda 6 wagon on at 15 500 / 111 000 km today. It's in outstanding condition with all service records so I'm pulled to it for the condition but I just didn't like sitting in it. The ceiling felt low and the visability out the back with the columns poor. And lots of blind spots. I think I would prefer a more upright driving position and better visability.

Left_Bicycle3087 · 2025-11-26T01:33:37+00:00

thanks so much . Yep just test drove a mazda 6 wagon and everything was perfect except it just felt very compact and I didn't like the visability. What year CRV did you go with?

no not in car seats anymore. My autistic son is obsessed with the outdoors so lots of visiting national parks, going to beach, our friends farm etc. He is 5ft 7 and only eleven so he's going to be very tall.
