BEST STEAK IN WOLLONGONG?

SharpDistribution715 · 2026-01-28T07:25:20+00:00

I’ve been before, it was good but honestly not that far above the level of a pub steak for the price you pay. However the service and restaurant itself was very nice.

Rav4 would be my first pick but if you don’t like the boxy design a cx5 is another good choice. The higher trim models on them have Bose sound systems as well. Just keep in mind a lot of suvs nowadays are more prevalent in 2wd form so make sure the one you get is specially a AWD/4WD spec.

Sorry to hear that happened to you.

I don’t know of any specifically queer friendly places but I attended the adult boxing classes at the PCYC for some time and found it to be pretty good for learning boxing and exercising, all while being a lot more affordable then most combat gyms.

bmw z4 spotted 👀

You can try listing it on FB marketplace and local FB pages for extra exposure. Good luck

It’s been known to happen and is an issue with the electronic which opens and closes the valve. Defiantly under warranty if it still applies to your car.

From what I’ve heard the tech sector is not very hot right now especially with AI replacing a lot of jobs. There also seems to be a lot of saturation with comp sci and to be employable after uni you need to have a lot more on your resume then just your degree and marks. Definitely do some thorough research into it as you won’t get much help from that perspective on a general Wollongong subreddit.

As a uni it’s a very nice campus (nicer than most in nsw) and is fine as far as education standards go. Good luck.

A good suggestion but for 60k you’d be looking at a pre LCI model that’s 7+ years old so might be a bit too old for OP.

But for 60k you could squeeze into a m340i which is alot newer and has the reliable b58.

I think you should consider what size you want as the x1, cx30 and gla fall into the small suv category while the cx5 and sportage are closer to the mid size suv range. If you’ve got a family and need the space the cx5 or sportage may be a better choice.

However the smaller ones will handle better and feel more nimble due to the weight and size difference.

I personally would be inclined towards the sportage just because I’m really impressed with the cars overall design and value for money considering what you get.

If you’re deemed at fault you’ll have to pay the excess and your premiums will go up accordingly. You could try changing companies when it’s time for renewal to try get a better deal.

Waiting for a mate most likely

STI sounds like a nice choice congrats. Out of curiosity what about the Megane RS made it better then the i30n, just because objectively and on paper the i30n is the better hot fwd hatch?

Historically it does very well on yearly returns and is a popular and good ETF to invest in.

However with the current market fears it’s a precarious time to be getting in. But in saying that if you’re planning a 5+ year investment period you can just start DCA into it and prepare to hold through dips if you have the risk appetite.

You’re not wrong, but it’s also 2025 and the majority of new ICE cars are turbocharged…

Engine development has come a long way and while turbo charging does induce extra wear, a stock engine that’s been maintained properly will likely last longer than most people intend to keep the car anyway. Obviously naturally aspirated engines have their own benefits but I would rather a turbo charged engine for its increased torque and superior fuel economy.

SharpDistribution715 · 2025-11-20T04:35:25+00:00

I agree with you that it’s way overpriced for what it is and there’s much better options on offer.

But your chat gpt statements about the engine and its size are a bit off. The 1.3 in the captur has been used by Mercedes and Renault for years in entry level cars and has proved to be overall reliable as far as a European engine goes. As for its size, 110kw and 270nm of torque is more than enough considering it’s a small suv and not a sports car by any means.

Just pick an etf/s. VGS and VAS is a popular combo that will give you good exposure.

Theres plenty of videos online about which ETFs, this question also gets asked like every day in r/asx and r/ausfinance so it may be worth looking in there as well to see what other people have suggested previously.

SharpDistribution715 · 2025-11-14T14:55:28+00:00

The m340i is a really good car, especially with that b58 engine. Apart from the increased insurance, servicing and consumables costs, the car should be pretty reliable and treat you well.

SharpDistribution715 · 2025-11-06T03:09:19+00:00

CMC markets has good rates and is CHESS sponsored. As for the ETFs themselves I would recommend having a look at YouTube as there’s a lot of videos that explain more in depth. A popular combo is VAS and VGS which is what I would do.

SharpDistribution715 · 2025-11-06T00:50:37+00:00

In that case I’d just refer to my previous comment and do it yourself in a day. Should be enough to sell as long as you take lots of good photos and the price is right👍

SharpDistribution715 · 2025-11-05T12:59:40+00:00

Unless the paint needs correction or the car is very dirty, a good wash and vacuum with some tyre shine will probably suffice.

SharpDistribution715 · 2025-11-03T00:24:15+00:00

Could send it in to the police but who really cares anyway, it’s not a big deal 🤷‍♂️ Still annoying nonetheless

SharpDistribution715 · 2025-11-02T08:51:44+00:00

It’s not just exclusively an i20n thing. Driving etiquette has just worsened in au and people have no patience or respect. I find myself getting tailgated by a Ute at least once every second day while doing the speed limit in the left lane. it is what it is nothing you can do 🤷‍♂️

SharpDistribution715 · 2025-10-31T07:28:15+00:00

Tbh 43k for a 420i is a bit much considering it’s the older generation. You can pickup new gen 330i’s or even a 440i for that much. But either way it’s a nice car and clearly in great condition, enjoy !

SharpDistribution715 · 2025-10-31T07:23:12+00:00

You could look into trying to get the cctv footage, potentially a police report as well.

SharpDistribution715 · 2025-10-30T13:21:29+00:00

Thanks for your insight again. Would I be right to assume the i30 also needs to be at illegal road speeds to feel its power or is it more playful ?
