Why ute's? whats the appeal?

[monkeys437]

Very handy to chuck the camping gear/bikes/tools in the back without getting **** dirty. Also they are a few grand cheaper brand new and most people rarely have a third passenger in the car anyway. Thats why the leather in the back seat of my 1997 statesman is brand new and the drivers seat is worn to buggery

...dont have to be a taxi for ya mates either

I was looking at getting a ute specifically for this reason! In the end I realised I may want a decent stereo so a boot was required

Because utes are awsome, look hot dumped and dont have to be a taxi for ya mates either

No, u just get asked to pick all your mates junk up for them instead Utes are just sexier than sedans, always have been (with the exception of the VE ute which is puke worthy)

The ute doesnt weigh anywhere near what a sedan does so for some its a way of buying a 2 door HSV.......

I bought a ute as they tend to light up a bit better than sedans, I also have next to no friends so it makes me feel less sad that only half the car is empty.

^^^^ For this reason, they attract women... we'll skip over the fact I drive a sedan :S

Isn't a VE ute heavier and 100mm longer in wheelbase than a VE sedan?

haha true that, cept thats when i give them a certain gesture

My first ute was a vs v6 and i mainly got that so i didnt have to cart mates around then kinda just loved black holden utes and now have stuck with it

Another plus for utes is resale value. The utes seem to hold their value a lot more than sedans and wagons.

Never saw the point in a 2WD ute, may as well buy a wagon and take the back seats out.
