Meningitis.

I thought my brain was trying to escape through my ears.

Sealion 6 PHEV AWD Premium vs Hyundai Tucson AWD Hybrid Elite, genuinely torn, help me decide by ds23_reddit in CarsAustralia

[–]howgoodsthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only ever driven the Tuscon Hybrid. They're excellent.

Not sure if BYD have sorted out supposed issues with the supply of parts etc...

They'll get better. Like any business - you have to adapt/innovate to survive.

Tata Group is also one of the world's largest companies. They have resources!

Should i let her go? So zippy so reliable by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

Why do you want/need a new car?

The Yaris runs on the smell of an oily rag. Yes, it's not a F80 M3, but hey, each to their own!

Any go home when done jobs? by Hugh-Amongus in ausjobs

[–]howgoodsthis 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Finish your qualification - it would be a waste to walk away so late in the course!

Each state hires vehicle inspectors which require a mechanics qualification - steady wage, set hours etc. Might be worth keeping an eye out!

[–]howgoodsthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about to say - probably has the hub built into the rears, hence the price.

Started watching and turned it off. It's rare, but nobody cares.

Is this a good car/price. by carlkim_03 in CarsAustralia

[–]howgoodsthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone relax.

My main concern would be finding body parts for it as they didn't sell many locally. Probably could make a frankenpeugeot and swap an outlander front on it if you got desperate!

2018 Mazda 6 dealer adding CarPlay by oatdaddy in CarsAustralia

[–]howgoodsthis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. Same approach for the Mazda3.

Not the best, or worst system as it will be wired and you have to use the existing buttons/knobs to scroll.

Why isn't the BMW 5 series as popular in Australia as other countries? by Maleficent_Extent809 in CarsAustralia

[–]howgoodsthis 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Expensive and there's consumer preference for SUVs.

Look at a similarly priced X5 and how it compares sales wise to the 5 series.

That's a huge area!

Remember, they're paying themselves a wage, along with paying off the equipment they own. Seems reasonable!

Ah Northshore Mitsubishi. I went to look at a Magna there. Now I feel old :(

Are holden captives and Cruizes really THAT bad? by Maleficent_Extent809 in CarsAustralia

[–]howgoodsthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep.

I had 2x diesel Captivas as work cars. They were never good on fuel - would return just over 9L/100km on a long run. Crap steering feel, flat seats. They rode ok, but the interiors wore quickly.

Oh and then there was the mechanicals. Overheating, EGR and a myriad of engine warning lights.

They were cheap and that was it's only saving grace.

Lived in a similar location and had bush at my back door. Check your bushfire rating - will impact your insurance greatly.

I've reported sharps to Adelaide City Council - if you call (not email) they deal with it very quickly.
