Ok then people... I need ideas/suggestions for a good little 4WD - the boy said it's not allowed to be a Suzuki, Feroza or Rav 4 because they are girl cars (apparently) and he would prefer a 2door.. ideas???

**heist** · 23-07-2009, 08:30 AM

ooh thats nice! It looks a bit similar to the Land Rover I was looking at!

He likes the new 2door Pajero's but they are a bit out of the price range!

ah, i think the latest model mu you'll find will be pretty old.

those landrovers you're talking about - check the hate thread for inanna's posts.

pajeros are pretty nice.

Ahhh there had to be a reason those Landrovers were seemingly so well priced and low km...

There's pretty much no mu's for sale in WA so scrap that idea most likely...

The X Trails look alright!

**skiingseth** · 23-07-2009, 09:44 AM

had a 89 ford Maverick SWB 4WD (same as a pajero) it was a good car has 4.2lt so its drinks the fuel cost around 10k these days it went well on gas too

without knowing your budget its a bit hard to make suggestions, but these are all under 10

one of my personal favorites
the CJ5 series of jeep

SWB patrols ( any year, they come out up to 2008, so i dont know your budget) the old ones are cheap as chips

XJ jeeps

4runner series

**Interjecta** · 23-07-2009, 12:42 PM

I'd like to gank the rims off it and leave it sitting on bricks.

because it's a lancer, or because he's in the process of modifying it?

**Interjecta** · 23-07-2009, 01:08 PM

Because it's a riced up hairdresser's car.

LOL, Riverside Drive during winter will love this modification.

No its not. Its a hairdressers car, sure, but he hasnt riced it.

Not yet at least.

Rims, CAI and farty exhaust on a 1.6L = rice minus the stickers and towel rack.

Could have bought a dinged up Silvia with CA18DET for the money.

**brooa** · 23-07-2009, 01:19 PM

nah fuck the towel rack. you need a garden bench!

**frogman** · 23-07-2009, 01:20 PM

I suppose will have have to agree to disagree. Rice to me is flashy, tacky addons that degrade performance.

And im not counting the rims cos I like the look of them =P

Yeh I know what you mean. I just automatically call anything rice that has pointless mods.
That's why I never modded the Celica. Bad enough being in a hairdresser's car

Now I just drive a glorified shopping trolley.

Albeit bigger than Alba's trolley.

celicas can be badass. I would high five the fuck out of anyone who did their up to look like the rally car. I dont give a shit if it had no performance mods at all.

Of course, the newer ones just remind me of a wedge of cheese.

**Suloh** · 23-07-2009, 01:52 PM

that lancer is missing chrome tailights, would really set it off

**heist** · 23-07-2009, 02:08 PM

i especially like the chrome tail lights mod on something that previously had a cohesive back end.

VT commodores are great for this

factory, lights flow into rear garnish

aftermarket AWESOME

**alba_** · 23-07-2009, 02:10 PM

my trolley has new brakes now
couldnt fit the 4 piston calipers inside the stock rims, so got twin pistons
rear bracing next

**mc68** · 23-07-2009, 10:01 PM

i love when they put those monaro tail lights in vt's...so they have FOUR reverse lights, for twice the reverse speed

range rover freelander???
not very manly either but choices of 4wd 2drs r limited!

**Suloh** · 24-07-2009, 12:03 AM

its 4wd
http://www.my105.com.au/classified.asp?id=12653

**j-mo** · 24-07-2009, 07:10 AM

Ask Innana about the freelander

**Astra1981** · 24-07-2009, 08:40 AM

yeh we were going to look at the Land Rover Freelander until I read inanna's posts & also read some reviews on the Drive website & it's all pretty bad! Lots of problems with reliability from the looks of it.. Think he likes the Jackaroo & the Frontera at the moment! Budget is up to about 16k I guess

yeah best of getting something from a major car retailer holden/toyota/nissan/mitsu
much easier and cheaper for parts/repairs ect

on another subject...stylings..
whats do you think of the new holden cruze?

think its damn nice for a lil car..and a holden

always liked the shape of the proton gen 2

nice curves!

**Astra1981** · 24-07-2009, 08:50 AM

it looks a bit similar to the Mazda 3 I think!

**alba** · 24-07-2009, 08:51 AM

holden cruze are a bit plastic and junky imo

**nVs** · 24-07-2009, 09:01 AM

in comparison to most i think its nice,
looks like a good size aswell, not 2 small...
not 2 bubbly n shizz..

i do like the 09 golf, the big grill makes it look more simple but aggressive...
not that i will be getting anything for a while now...

its nice 2 look around tho

**Astra1981** · 24-07-2009, 09:37 AM

I think my next car will be a red Mazda RX8... I have been happy with my mazda for the past 3years... I'll upgrade in another 3years I think!

**alba** · 24-07-2009, 09:40 AM

if i was looking in the small crossover segment i'd look at suzuki sx4
mate has one, goes liek the clappers and is fairly solid for a suzuki

the older holden cruze is a suzuki underneath
i think the new one is build in the daewoo plant
god knows why they didnt give them different names, they are such different cars

Old man told me yesterday that they are absolute pieces of shit.
He's currently going through them all at work and updating their ECU software. Shitloads of bugs apparently.

They're going to stop making them in Korea shortly, with an Australian factory taking over. Maybe they'll improve shortly.

**Suloh** · 24-07-2009, 10:14 PM

I would have thought the reverse would happen when they make them here.
