Well, ive been thinking of selling the VX II SS and getting something else instead.
The problem is what else is there?
as much as i like driving the SS, and the fact its manual as well, i just cant see myself using it as a daily driver.
The leather is annoying after a while on warmer days, there are no real luxuries to speak of - sure it has air, elec windows etc but its just lacking the refinement that i enjoy.
i know a lot of you wont understand that but i like little luxuries, i like the feel of power (and the roar of a V8) but i also enjoy ride quality too.
i dont need to be bouncing around, feeling bumps in the road, hearing road noise all the time.
lately ive had more enjoyment driving the BA Fairmont instead - which says its time the SS went.
so, for a daily driver under 25k with comfort, power, style, quality and something i can live with and enjoy every day - what do i look at?
(6 speed is preferred over a 4 speed if at all possible)
BF XR8 or XR6T with Premium sound, 6 speed and sports leather is one option i have considered but id like a few more to make a better informed decision.
so, what would you consider under 25k that would fit the criterior - doesnt have to be a Holden or a Ford either.
it could be a 4cyl or a V10, for all i care it can run on Diesel too - whatever.
