Family Cars

[PranK]

Ok guys, Next year I am getting married. Bec and I want to have kids very soon after we get married, which results in many things, but one of the main is that the GTR will have to go.

I need suggestions on some nice (preferably quick) family cars. They can't be imports (otherwise i'd be getting a Stagea).

My thoughts so far are;

Subaru Forrester XT

Subaru Liberty GT Premium

Audi A4 Turbo Quattro wagon

Nissan X-Trail

Ford Explorer (slammed on 20's)

Any ideas? suggestions? comments?

Thanks,

Christian

Funny how we refer to cars that aren't produced in Australia but sold here by a dealer as being not an import but cars that are not made in Australia and imported but not sold by a major dealer are classified as an import !!!!!!

Just have look at Christian's list in the above post. How many of those cars are completely built in Australia?

BTW the Audi would have to be the standout choice wouldn't it, especially if it is the RS4.

Just an observation is all.

Cheers

ha ha ha yeah Muz, i agree- its funny... they're all 'imports' as such.. i should say no 'grey imports'..

hmmm, i am really leaning so far towards the liberty GT.. the RS4 is about $100k out of our price range.

Get a slammed Forester GT, they are the shiznit.

Oh n when your wanting to sell your GTR pm me

[PranK]

yeah i like the Foresters.

Ben, you'll be the first to know!

Christian I would also say look at the Forresters. They are good fun to drive, they are big and they are also very easily worked and modded just to quench your thirst for performance.

I once had a blat against one in my younger years (last year) and must say that he kept up with the skyline.

i'd just like to say congratulations prank

[two40]

married hmmm. congrats punk

Well if you don't want a Toyota Vienta (LOL) go for the Forrester

[v_s_p_e_c]

why no 'grey imports'?

there could have been quite a long list

[PranK]

v_s_p_e_c - no grey imports because my soon-to-be wife will be driving it too, and she has given me that rule. Also because we can't get something brand new and also insurance etc... i cant wait to own a car that I have no insurance woes with.

Charlie, Jimbo - thanks fellas.

Congrats on the marriage, sympathies on losing the GTR.

Ah well, we all have to grow up and get rid of our toys sometime.

u like the new xr6t's?

that might be in the list

[NI5MO]

I second the XR6t! Or audi then the Forrester

Congratulations also!

[Staunch]

Toyota avalon all the way! my one ****in hammers!

[Duncan]

Easy, buy a Stagea and put volvo stickers on it.....no-one will ever be able to tell the difference

[Tosh]

Congratulations Christian & Bec

Have you explored the option of an EVO 8 as well??? They will be sold here in Australia however not sure about holding the family.

Would be worth checking out mate

From that list, Liberty or Forrester

[PranK]

Duncan - good call!!! :D

B-Man, i would LOVE a gloria!!!

[Duncan]

More seriously though, was XR6T on the list? They can go a bit....

Of those, I'd pick the Liberty, but this same q is why we are selling the skyline and buying a stagea....I guess I've been training Kel for long enough now
