I have bought this https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/aw/d/B0000CBI6A

Get them a Tesla. :) the one without an indicator stalk.

No corporate discount, it's called corporate pricing, but generally the same as what can be negotiated (or more expensive). Perk is the 3…

Mate. I see what you mean now. From the negative votes, looks like a few souls were hurt by categorising MB/BMW to Toyota/Mitsubishi and…

Ventilated. As in the seat with air blowing out of them. Different to climate control.

Happy with the Thai made Mitsubishi Electric. A fraction of $90k.

Not driven one, nor care how it drives. No SUV will be remotely comparable to the weekend fun cars at home, and I am not illusional that a…

Thanks, and agree. The pattern for the car is either within 30kms for a return trip or anything is 200-400km one way long drive, hence the…

Not idea too. Having looked at various 5+2 and 7 seaters, it appears that 7 seaters you get: 1. more toe room 2. more shoulder room 3. some…

Need to fill in the spot when both Coles and WW are not doing half price "sale" on spam.

"Leasing" yes, not via NL provider. Cost of servicing is a consideration, but not a major concern. Sorento was briefly looked at 6 months…

Would like something that fits 7 for odd occasions and the PHEV incentive is attractive, and runs out soon. Didnt give it much of a thought…

Kids screaming too. I have tried and works better than ANC headsets.

Yes, that is an academic way to look at it, percentage of efficiency. Even F1 cars are merely hitting over 50%. BEV has the benefit of not…

Haha. Yes, sad to unfriend someone on FB because of that. Partly true, but mostly intended as a joke. Not sure if it is categorised as…

At cruising speed sub 80 km, the old school big engines are surprisingly efficient. We have managed below consumptions per 100km: - GS350…

Bit old school. Probably the car after and onward will be BEV. The question then is whether to get rid of all the ICE toys. (Or they will…

Well. Crystal ball? Given that it is a depreciation asset, not sure why it should matter. Don't think anyone buys a fridge and wondering…

Yes. Public transport is the preferred option on non school drop off days. The new car will be sitting there most of the time. Crazy to…

Amazes me how sensitive BEV is to speed of travel compared to ICE. Sweet spot for ICE is 80-120km/hr. Toyed around with the simulator.…

Sat in them at the dealership, but too lazy to go test driving. It's a heavy SUV, so not expecting much. Both are rather slow too with…

These are sold for [$71.50 at Bunnings](https://www.bunnings.com.au/3m-pro-grade-high-noise-reduction-earmuff_p8908300). Can reduce the…

The EQB250+ is lab rated to 560km. Guessing it will hit 400km real world. I think you have given me the answer. 300km highway range can…

5+2 is a criteria as a proper 7 seater is usually too big for Sydney car parks. Same reason that the NX450h+ has been ruled out. The BYD…

I am with you. I do think BEV is superior in many aspects, especially as a daily runner. With kids, it really limits when we can go on…

Yes, all options in the market at this juncture have their pros and cons. Not making things easy. Ideally to postpone. Well, until a few…
