[J.D]

evo 3 too old. want something I'm not doing to have to do maintenance on.

mk5 gti is a possibility, but I'm sick of seeing them all the time when going to uni, so unsure.

FFS why is deciding on a car to buy so hard....

Was just reading up about Guy Fawkes, apparently his only achievement was a failing to assassinate a King. What am I missing here?

Guy Fawkes night in London(UK?) means you can buy fireworks from their equivalent of Coles and go nuts letting them off legally.

XR5? Love mine, sound so good stock, decent power, and it's the first car I've owned that I've managed to keep stock and I bought it new 3 years ago! Lowering has been tempting, but I've resisted as I just don't feel it needs anything done to it.

XR5 is a very good suggestion.

Just fits with my criteria for age and km's and definately hits the mark in alot of other respects.

whats the fuel economy like on yours?

ep3 are like 10 years old, which is about 5 years older than i'm looking

Economy is ok, not great, not terrible. It depends how you drive it as with anything....I do mostly suburban/city driving and get an average of 400-420k's a tank if I go close to empty and that's with the occasional squirt/thrash(which is hard to resist with the 5cyl sound and the pops and crackles out the back!). I did a road trip to Sydney and was getting around the very high 500's to low 600k's on the highway, so it's not horrendous if you do a few highway k's.
