Woo, new car! and all things good!

[jimi_81]

Ford, GM and Dailmer Chrysler are practically giving their new cars away. Employee discounts, cash allowances, Dell computers....

I was reading an article somewhere... saying that it really doesnt matter how good the deal is, it matters how good the car is!

Which is why i just picked up an 05 honda civic si.
I'm still on my very first tank of gas... and Im at 500 km with about a quarter tank left.

Congrats on the new ride... and yes, american cars are bull$hit

Unlike canadian works of art?



American cars leave a lot to be desired but there are some excellent ones around

 

[jimi_81]

Is their a "canadian car" company? or are they just subsidiaries of American companies? I'd only buy japanese at this stage of my life. fuel economy, style and quality for a fair price...thats whats important

anyway, perhaps i've opened up a debate, which goes away from what this thread is all about. my apologies.

best of luck with the interview and the new ride.

Hmmmm... Consumer Reports for the 2005 model year cars shiit caned Mercedes Benz C class CLK E class and the S class in reliability.

They also shiited on BMW 5 series and 7 series for reliability plus below average on satisfaction for the 7 series.

Now the Chevrolet Impala is a "recommended" choice by Consumer Perports with reliability above average.

Also the Chevrolet Monte Carlo has above average reliability and satisfaction.

The Chevrolet Tahoe is a "recommended" choice also.

The Chrysler PT Cruiser has above average reliability marks.

And the Chrysler Pacifica is a "recommended" choice.

Plus a few other "American" cars.

well, I got the job. Just recieved a phonecall about 30 minutes ago and I start on Tuesday.

I also went to get the provisional forms from the post office to apply for my licence and from my 3rd weeks pay I will be sitting my CBT which is basically the first step in getting a nice class-A bike license, meaning that I will then legally be able to run on the roads on a crotch rocket

lurverly

edit Also forgot to mention that I got a quote for insuring me to "Provisionally" drive the previously mentioned car, and its a whole £1200 extra, yes thats on top of the £430 we are paying at the moment!

 

[Steevo]

Go nix!!! Insurance sucks the big one here too. I pay around $140 a month. But it was up to almost $200 when I first started driving. Anyway, congrats man.

 

[Unleashed]

Nice one! Very tidy, good price.
As for insurance - it's not that bad. My 2 litre Merc, at 18 with one years no claims, costs me £950 a year.

god cars in the uk are tiny.

My element is a 2.4 litre car

The Chrysler PT Cruiser has above average reliability marks.

Is it just me or does the PT cruiser look a bit like a herse from the back??
