The managed decline of our nation continues.

I churn cards for FF bonus points but NAB, Westpac and Amex platinum cards all have it.

I've always had a credit card with car hire excess cover so have never paid for it.

I wouldn't get too much additional comfort from a full BMW service history. BMW is one of those brands that thinks having 20-25,000 km's…

I also hated this film. Nolan at his worst.

Well then.... May the force be with you.

Lodge a complaint and if they don't play ball lodge something with the ombudsman. Who are you insured with?

I've been with commbank for as long as I can remember. Can't recall having any of the issues you mentioned with their simple debit…

@k15866 like most things it's a mixture. Moving to another country is an expensive proposition in the first place so its not like you're…

Completely overblown. I use an M1 Air for work, the vast majority of the time it is cool to the touch. 95% of users would be fine with an…

I'm curious to hear about this negotiating at Apple stores.. I thought they said the price is the price and if you want to save $50 go to…

USB hub 4K 27 inch monitor. New from dell at $380. One cable and you've got power and display.…

It may help but it won't solve the problem. Immigration is the single biggest factor because its simple supply and demand, more people…

People First party has some great looking policies. Few probably ever bother to read them, rather they'll go with the media label of…

Is it enough to stop people voting for the uniparty?

Oh I don't know, immigration?

I should've qualified my general 'don't do it' for french cars with 'unless its the Megane/Clio RS line. I've driven a Megane RS 275 and I…

Don't do it.

A long warranty is nice, but you still never want to have to use it. Reviews of Haval warranty service aren't great. Not sure about BYD.

Buying an S24 is probably an easy way to save a huge amount for not much difference.

Honda Accord Euro or a Camry/Aurion. If you're mostly on the highway you could even get a car with a larger engine and not use much more…

I use a Dell UD22 with my M1 Macbook Air, it is displaylink compatible so once you install the displaylink software on your mac you can run…

So just get a newer one out of that production range. Otherwise Kluger will probably be more reliable whereas the Mazda will be more…

Have a scroll in this thread and you'll see at least one person having DCT issues with their new Sorrento.

Petrol or diesel?

Driving habits lean heavily towards Hybrid being better suited.

DCT's may be getting good now but they along with CVT's still have a terrible reputation hangover. Never heard of VW DSG or Ford Powershift…

Speaking from my experience I had a Hybrid Camry (2022) for about a month. Around town I was averaging 5.1L/100 and then went on 6 hour…

Kluger. For 3 reasons. 1. Reliability - Yes Kia has the longer warranty, but modern diesels are more likely to have issues due to the…

Fair enough, I'm a churner too, this will be my 3rd Amex.
