Personally....I would keep driving the line,but if the time comes, i had great experiences with a old Honda Civic as a daily...It Just kept going with very minimal attention!!

P.S. Was that you on your way to Palm Beach on Sunday?

Saw so many cars...Thought one fitted your description

[evil_weevil]

Im thinking fuel too....as in the line would use alot more to say a pulsar or something and its just normal unleaded....other side of the coin is i love the line too much hahah

why yes, yes it was me ! i was the 33, with the two black 32 gtst's

what were you in??

[ranicx]

i was thinking of getting a street bike to cut down on fuel for getting to work.. seriously

[scathing]

I dunno. I don't like bikes as commuters. Not particularly safe, and in 60kms of peak hour traffic there's a lot of risk.

If everyone commuted on bikes or scooters its OK, but when you're dodging soccer mums in 4WDs and mad tradies in vans, its a tad too dangerous.

And when it rains, you're in trouble.

Nissan Pulsar N12 or N13.

I picked up my 1990 Nissan Pulsar Hatch for $3K cash over 2 years ago now to use a A-B daily runabout.

Was it excellent condition inside and out with approx 100K km's on the clock.

*touch wood* it has not missed a beat!! Just had to replace the dizzi, handbrake cable, thats it. Just general low cost wear n tear items which I do all myself.

These cars a reknown to just keep on going and going with little problems!

Meh my 2c

I had a 1994 excel that I owned for 2 years 40000 ks later I sold it having never serviced it once never missed a beat and used bugger all fuel sure they are ghey and are made of crap stuff inside but for getting from A-B in the cheapest manner possible ther are pretty good!

U12 Pintara.

I miss mine. Was so economical and never said die. 300,000kms on it, thrashed to bits and never skipped a beat.

feel sorry for the person who got it after u , wonder what the oil looked like after 40000

Mate if u got 2 grand to spent u can get a mad car I had kingwoods , datsun 180Bs and 1600, geminis , coronas , mazda 121s all with rego for under 1 grand the 1600 had flames painted on it so just think about the car u will get for 2 grand

[R33TOM]

i would definately go for a corolla, 80's model, i think the 85 and earlier were rear wheel driven as well, those 4A engines can take quite a flogging and quite economical.
