If you really want to be considerate to others, try a Ford Fiesta. I'm a small car driver with an MG4 and Kia cerato, not making any claims…

The Jolion Hybrid is 1620kg, not particularly heavy - but much heavier than the non hybrid version. The average new car sold today is 2.05…

Not bad, this car has some noteable safety features and did quite well on ANCAP if you look at the details of its 5 star rating, it is…

I have seen this and was shocked at the black and white thinking. Though it's important to remember that there's a diversity of views in…

nurbsenvi on Volkswagen T-Cross 85TSI Life MY24 $32,990 Driveaway (Save $4,000) @ Volkswagen

It's gone up from $31,000 to $38,000 for the basic model and MG are indicating this is a permanent shift. The $31k price and other prices…

EagleVista on Volkswagen T-Cross 85TSI Life MY24 $32,990 Driveaway (Save $4,000) @ Volkswagen

Well they only have a 5 year warranty, and a reputation for average reliability. So yes, I see no reason to pay several thousand more than…

Yes the Forester also did well above average in the IIHS study.

Depends on your definition but I'd call it a station wagon.

I think it's given me a bargain hunter mentality as a key part of my identity. Many purchases found from Ozbargain have benefited us -…

$10, you could get 2kg of apples for that. It's better value than buying another game to put in my draw of unplayed games that I couldn't…

acersaurus commented on Russell Hobbs RHK510 Addison Kettle 1.7L (5 Temperature Settings) $51 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU
This kettle was pretty good but stopped working after a couple of years for me. I would not particularly recommend this kettle.

I would also consider the Subaru outback - it's not an SUV but does have some of the benefits of one, it's reliable and has superb safety…

BusMan247 on Sony PlayStation 5 Pro Console $1099.95 + $9.95 Delivery ($0 C&C) @ EB Games eBay

You correct graphics "have hit that point" making holding onto last gen consoles more reasonable. There's little difference between having…

acersaurus commented on Sony PlayStation 5 Pro Console $1099.95 + $9.95 Delivery ($0 C&C) @ EB Games eBay
Oh $1100 for a console now - this could be enough to push inflation up to the point of stopping the next RBA interest rate cut.

acersaurus commented on INC 100 WPI Chocolate or Vanilla Flavour 2kg $68.99 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ Chemist Warehouse
The vanilla flavour WPI has a higher protein % than the chocolate at 81.9%.

Or you could move to Malaysia and retire now, with $1 going 3 X as far.

acersaurus commented on How Much Do You Actually Need to Retire in Aus
Here's another option, instead of retiring aim for a paid off house then work part time 3 days/week, but do it from as young as possible…

Paolo89ita on Single Mum Needing Reliable Car Advice – Budget Around $25k, Tall Teen, Need Space & Warranty

Lots of people have the range concerns. Thing is most households have over 1 car, with the other being an ICE car. In such situations, take…

acersaurus commented on Single Mum Needing Reliable Car Advice – Budget Around $25k, Tall Teen, Need Space & Warranty
I'd go the Camry from 2012 or newer, you don't even need to spend $20k. You could spend $14k for one with less than 150,000kms. Benefits:…

acersaurus commented on Help Me Buy a Vehicle for $30k
2014+ Mazda 3 2012+ Camry Mitsubishi ASX, Toyota Corolla, Honda crv. All ultra reliable models. Check the used car safety ratings, I think…

Oxenfree123 on MG3 Vibe CVT 1.5L FWD $21,990 Driveaway (Save $1,880) @ MG Dealers

Not exactly. If the price of EVs comes way down, crude oil demand will go down because of increased EV sales. This will reduce the cost of…

That's true but some are better than others. This one has only 3 stars ANCAP rating and likely isn't as good of a driving experience as the…

Even with all that for some people it might be ok as an A to B mobile if someone wants to own a new small car. I think the Haval Jolion may…

Nutritionally in terms of vitamins and minerals perhaps, but most people get more than enough of those anyway. WPC can be very convenient.…

I don't get why you wouldn't bother with WPC when it's still 80% protein - much higher than I'm foods. Let's not be protein snobs.

acersaurus commented on Why Have Protein Powder Prices Risen Insanely?
It has risen but you can sometimes find deals, Woolworths recently had sales on Musashi 100% whey $51/2kg. This is a WPC/WPI mix but mostly…

Jaduqimon on Refund of US$456 (in Warranty, ~A$714) or US$200 (Out of Warranty) for Eligible Pixel 7a with Swollen Battery Issue @ Google

Yes exactly, my one isn't eligible. Who knows if they are even still selling the problem ones.

acersaurus commented on Refund of US$456 (in Warranty, ~A$714) or US$200 (Out of Warranty) for Eligible Pixel 7a with Swollen Battery Issue @ Google
Nice one, my 7a is not eligible but it was worth it to try. Particularly as I got the phone for $474 brand new.

leeroys_dad on [RACQ] Sea World Resort Buffet Breakfast, Unlim. Theme Park & Accom. for 4pax from $254.15 Per Night @ Sea World

What no dolphin buffet? I thought that was what SeaWorld was all about.

One issue - you only get 1 room. So if you have a family of 4, are you really happy to all stay in the one room? If so or for lesser…
