Compact Cars For Sale. For people who would like to have a vehicle that does not use up a great amount of gas, compact cars would be the right kind of car for them. Aside from this, compact cars are much more affordable. People who would not like to spend much on driving and on purchasing a vehicle opt for compact cars. For around $10,000, you can now own a compact car. Decide how much you are willing to spend on a car. Also, try to think of the features that you would like your vehicle to have. Consider safety, performance, value, handling, comfort, reliability, dealer service, looks, interior room, mileage, and sources of parts.

Birdsville springs to mind... - I also like a vehicle that doesnt drag it's arse along the hump between the wheel-tracks the whole way to town. Dragging it's arse along the road makes me (involuntarily) clench my butt-cheeks, and I find this tiring after an hour or so. - I also like a vehicle that doesnt pack up with mud, and leave me stranded half-way to town (when it occasionally rains). - I also like a vehicle that can drive from all of the wheels, as this improves the chances I might stay on the aforementioned muddy road. - I also like a vehicle for which you can actually buy tyres designed with mud in mind. - I also like a vehicle with an alternator large enough to run at least 2 driving lights, AND a radiator that can be partically blocked and still keep the vehicle operating normally. - I also like a vehicle that can tow up to a ton of trailer, and not have a problem with it. Unfortunately, none of the compact cars on the market meet any of my 'likes', aside from the first one. I havent seen a compact car that would be able to fit our grocery order, or even make it home without missing a couple of wheels, and most likely bleeding from the sump... Aside from the first 'like', my Landcruiser ute meets all of the other requirements... As do 95% of the cars discussed in aus.cars.offroad. Which, brings me to wonder why you might be posting this helpful info in a forum that focuses on off-road vehicles? Havent seen a compact car yet that will survive for long on your average outback dirt road... What a mystery... ------- For a round-up of the pics I have taken the past 24 months, take a look at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rod_outback/ ------- Cheers, Rod...Out Back Snip Snip >------- > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >Rod...Out Back Hmmm That supposed landcruiser shadow photo sure looks like a Bubble "compact" there Rod... >Snip Snip >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >Hmmm That supposed landcruiser shadow photo sure looks like a Bubble >"compact" there Rod... Yes, Alas, I confess... My compact car cunningly disguises itself as a Landcruiser, but the shadow remains that of a compact. Note the extra large wheels I had fitted by the dealer (Compact cars have such options, you know!), so it wouldnt start shedding parts crossing the first grid, on my way home... ------- For a round-up of the pics I have taken the past 24 months, take a look at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rod_outback/ ------- Cheers, Rod...Out Back |
