Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / General Car Topics (Australian group) / June 2007Which is the better car a BF Falcon or a Series II Mitsubishi 380?
I tend to buy what the majority of the public buys. >I tend to buy what the majority of the public buys. Then why are you looking at a BF or a 380? >I tend to buy what the majority of the public buys. Thats an easy decision, it obviously the 380. >>I tend to buy what the majority of the public buys. > > Thats an easy decision, it obviously the 380. Yep me too,Mitsubishi is more generally accepted these days for not have a mojo come with it in the glove box,falcons used to be that way however,falcons drink too much fuel,especially on hills. >>>I tend to buy what the majority of the public buys. >> >> Thats an easy decision, it obviously the 380. > Yep me too,Mitsubishi is more generally accepted these days for not have a > mojo come with it in the glove box,falcons used to be that way > however,falcons drink too much fuel,especially on hills.

No sh.t! Well stuff me.. > Yep me too,Mitsubishi is more generally accepted these days for not have > a mojo come with it in the glove box,falcons used to be that way > however,falcons drink too much fuel,especially on hills. Yeah, I hate it when you buy a car and it has a mojo in the glove box. Good thing my VE didn't come with one or I would have been pissed. Marco > Yeah, I hate it when you buy a car and it has a mojo in the glove > box. Good thing my VE didn't come with one or I would have been > pissed. Heh I made a definite decision to wait til the next series/model commode comes out. Also gives me a chance to check out the next Falcon by then. And see how Holden responds to that. Basically no VE for me. :-)  SignatureRegards Dan > Heh I made a definite decision to wait til the next series/model commode > comes out.

Basically no VE for me. :-) Probably not a bad plan - I often say that it's a bad idea to buy a new model in the first year or so of production (not that there's been anything really wrong with my VE other than some sort of software bug affecting the info display on the dash)...but then I drove a VE and decided I would buy one anyway :) (I would have had to buy one sometime this year at any rate with a baby on the way). My parents are looking at buying a Calais or Calais V late this year or early next - I might suggest to them to wait and see what the new Ford brings as well before making up their minds.

Yup but I still take it that your happy with your new beast still? You still could trade in for a 380 though ;-) Only kidding. > My parents are looking at buying a Calais or Calais V late this year > or early next - I might suggest to them to wait and see what the new > Ford brings as well before making up their minds. Good idea although the Calais V does look great though. :-) SignatureRegards Dan > Yup but I still take it that your happy with your new beast still? > You still could trade in for a 380 though ;-) Only kidding. I could trade it for a 380, or even for two slightly used 380s, but on the whole I'd rather not :) Still very happy with the SS though, I still think it's the best way to spend a large pile of money that I've ever come up with. I've done about 12,400km in it now and really have nothing bad to say about it, only two quite minor faults (the front suspension clunk and now the funny business with the info display that I think needs a software update to fix), still love the performance and the handling and even the fuel consumption is better than the official tests said it would be. So yeah, all good :) > > My parents are looking at buying a Calais or Calais V late this year > > or early next - I might suggest to them to wait and see what the new > > Ford brings as well before making up their minds. > > Good idea although the Calais V does look great though. :-) They're also considering the Captiva although I doubt they'll go down that road in the end. I think the Vectra has probably now sworn Dad off European cars for life (not that its faults are uniquely European) so they'll be shopping among the locals as well as the Japanese and Korean brands I would think. I'll be pretty surprised, though, if they end up in anything other than another Holden of some description.

So yeah, all good :) Good to hear, bit of a bugger with the software glitch I hope they haven't had a MS software developer for it. :-) I guess it will be fixed in no time. >> > My parents are looking at buying a Calais or Calais V late this year >> > or early next - I might suggest to them to wait and see what the new [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > so they'll be shopping among the locals as well as the Japanese and > Korean brands I would think. A captiva? oh gawd! Why not an Epica as well? My best bet is to get your old man behind of a V8 again. :-) Or even A Subaru Liberty if they want a Japper. > I'll be pretty surprised, though, if they end up in anything other > than another Holden of some description. Well I would be talking your folks into a Calais V8 that's for sure. :-) SignatureRegards Dan > Good to hear, bit of a bugger with the software glitch I hope they haven't > had a MS software developer for it. :-) I guess it will be fixed in no > time. >From reading around on LS1 I don't think I'm the only person who has had this bug appear, so I'd say there's already a fix available for it through software. It's not that big a deal so I'll wait until the 15k service to bring it up. Basically, sometimes the radio information on the display goes funny - either it doesn't appear at all and doesn't let you change stations with the steering wheel buttons, or it keeps showing 'Voice In' even when you've finished making a phone call, or it keeps showing the radio station you were listening to before you changed stations. For some reason it happens more often if you've switched the radio on after you started the car (as opposed to it coming on with the ignition), or if you change from CD to radio mode. Like I said, not a big deal, more of a minor inconvenience that has 'software update' written all over it. > >> Good idea although the Calais V does look great though. :-) > > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > old man behind of a V8 again. :-) Or even A Subaru Liberty if they want a > Japper. Can't be a Liberty, one of the criteria is that I need to be able to drive it from time to time as well, and I just can't drive the Liberty (although that's probably not as relevant as it used to be because I don't drive their car very often anymore). The Captiva actually looks allright for that type of vehicle - not that they need an SUV, it's more that they're fed up with the poor visibility in most modern cars. > Well I would be talking your folks into a Calais V8 that's for sure. > :-) I reckon that'd be a good idea too, but Dad's well and truly past his hoon days and V6 power does the job for him these days :) Marco > I reckon that'd be a good idea too, but Dad's well and truly past his > hoon days and V6 power does the job for him these days :) Bah! If I ever hear my daughter mutter those words I would disown her. ;-) SignatureRegards Dan >> Good to hear, bit of a bugger with the software glitch I hope they >> haven't [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Like I said, not a big deal, more of a minor inconvenience that has > 'software update' written all over it.

Don Hirschberg > I tend to buy what the majority of the public buys. Thats like asking which is better, jumping off a cliff or being thrown? neither is real good for your health. BF Falcon much better to drive, has bigger boot. 380 probably more reliable, more fuel efficient. I'd buy neither. SignatureVYBerlinaV8 |
