Hey, only came across this site recently and love'in it. Can see myself spending alot of time on here. A little about myself before i ask the question i need some help on.
I Love cars, love cars, any sort, old muscle,rotaries,v8's,aussie, euro, anything with 4 wheels. Currently restoring a 69 GTS Monaro, have a big cammed VE HSV Senator, VT wagon thats seen better days and a few Vans for work(1 Hiace,1 Renault and a Vito). Am trying to get off the tools at work and do all the quoting and run the business but hasnt quite happened yet. The senator i have used when im quoting but since i have modified it, Its too loud and thirsty to drive everyday. Sadly i am about to advertise the car for sale and also get rid of the wagon. Hence the reason i have come here. I have 2 options. First option is a VF SV6 Sportwagon.(more sensible option as i know i wont end up modding it and is a good size).This is also the reason a SS Wagon is out of the equation. Ill end up doing mods and the fuel economy will kill me in the end.
Option 2: Skoda Vrs Wagon. I only stumbled across these cars recently.Was itially looking at the new Renault Magane GT wagon but boot space is too small. So i went down to Bentleigh a few days ago and took a demo Octavia RS wagon out. Loved the DSG with the paddles and am now leaning towards the Skoda over the commodore. The Commodore would be a better work car but its not all about work, isnt that right. I like my cars looking a little different and not seeing hundred on the road at the same time.
Now is my dilema. Do i buy what is basically left, old stock demos for about $35K or wait not too long hopefully and get the new model. I dont want to spend 50K but will spend low 40's. Was going to get a white wagon, but seeing pics of the blue, I love it, especially with dark tint, dark rims ect. I have driven only the dsg, so dont know how the manual goes. What are your opinions. Looking forward to the responses
Regards Alex
