Raws Eligible Cars List

[Priestley]

I've been looking at importing a Cube Cubic later this year for my mum. Unfortunately she wants a manual and they all appear to be auto. I've had a look at the eligible cars list at http://raws.infrastructure.gov.au to see what other small cars can be imported... but they don't even have the Cube listed, so I'm guessing they're missing a few other cars

Could one of the brokers or importers on here make a list of small cars that can be imported. Something similar to the cube would be great. Just the car maker and model would be fine, the rest of the details I should be able to figure out myself.

dunno about the cube man... asfar as i know you cant import them cuz they dont meet the performance, design criteria. that goes with most small cars i think.. plus many e.g. the starlet glanza v turbo cant be impported cuz the local was close enough. so u might have to settle for a barina

There are several workshops waiting for approval on the Cube at the moment. There are a few for sale which leads me to believe that they've passed, but maybe those ones came in as personal imports?

Imperial have the Cube Cubic listed on their compliance page: http://imperialauto.com.au/modules/content/index.php?id=26

there is a whole thread on the cube in this very section......

[Priestley]

Yep, I've read that, but I'm looking for something other than the Cube. Something similar would be great...

bB will eventually be on, but that's at least 12 months away.

[Priestley]

bB doesn't appear to come in manual either. It does look pretty good though.

Pulsar VZ-R? Civic Type R? AE111 Levin/Trueno?

[Priestley]

Thanks Iron Chef. I'll check them out.

I'd say the closest to a Cube but in manual would be a Mitsubishi RVR Hyper Sports Gear. The Cube is kind of unique and there arne't a lot of cars similar which can be imported so the RVR would be closest.

As well as the bB actually sooner available might be the Daihatsu Coo.... basically Daihatsu bought all the rights of Toyota so it's the same as a bB, just different name and trim options. No manual though.

Cheers Ben. Its Bruce here by the way (Waynes brother in law)

An RVR in green would go well next to the Delica
