Is this "family" car required for a "new" family or older family? I dunno about you guys but the amount of stuff I regularly need to cart around in the boot of my stag would never fit in a sedan (not without things getting broken).

You can survive with a sedan, but I reckon boot space is one of those things you never think you need, until you have it - and then you'll never go back.

Dead on mate. Could not agree more.

Since ive seen the price of stag wagons, i wish i had of got one...GC low kms under 10k...but it had to be turbo (to offset the ugly factor) which i think meant they wouldnt insure my girl until 25.... but yeah good value...

yeah it is for a new family so i expect a messy interior over time

Get an early model Caldina then - the trim in those things looks like a kid has ALREADY vomited on the seats...

haha good call >_< kinda like the patterned carpet they use in rsl clubs haha

oh god, not a TATA. they just go and buy parts (generally left overs) off other manufacturers and make them fit together until they resemble a car.

HAhahaha. True, But TATA are so big they bought Jaguar and Land Rover off Ford. They dont interfere with what the factories do, and fund them as required.

went through this dilemma myself last year, plaenty of good "family" cars floating around.

Mitsubishi Legnum TT

Mitsubishi Galant TT

Toyota Aristo TT

Nissan Stagea

only drama with these cars is, manuals are hard to come across if even an option.

plus I don't think the Aristo has the boot space for what he/she needs.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
