Just because something is the number one selling car dosn’t make it any good.

A typical Aussie would buy a commodore if holden stuck a badge on a painted turd.

I’ve had 2 in the past 8 years – BOTH with major issues including my 06 model which was brand new with NO WORKING REAR LIGHTS. Quality control? Must have been on a smoko.

How you mean about Holden?

It’s Commodore is the #1 selling car for the 13th year straight [Corolla tried to beat it but failed]

Proudly made in S/Australia!!

Subaru and haonda are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy overpriced and the owners are just plain weird and totally brainwashed, but thats another [true] story

@DON

Subaru are having price reductions on styles like the impreza as they are uncompetitive and pretty beige looking.

Although it wouldn’t hurt if honda released another sports minded car sometime soon.

But hey, we could all be worse off and buy a Holden.

So what,that Subaru have lowered their price!They lowered their price because Subarus have been overpriced to begin with.
It’s companies like Subaru that will have their re-sale value drop more than their competitors’ because of such desperate measures to chase sales!

HONDA = SMART

SUBARU = DESPERATE

40 years and the sales is going backward. SUBARU = MADE IN JAPAN = PRICE REDUCTION. HONDA = MADE IN THAILAND (NO IMPORT DUTY)= PRICE INCREASE. Overprice and expect customer to subsidise their mansion dealers. No customer value.

Very fond of Honda, their range is full of brilliant cars: Jazz, Accord Euro, Civic, Integra, S2000, even the CR-V can be mentioned along with the Legend!

Legen….Dary!

not nice F-O!!!!
My very first car was a scamp… very interesting at the drive-in for two reasons, 1/ you had trouble seeing the whole screen out of the windscreen. 2/ you needed a good chyropractor afterwards :p

That was followed by a Z!! and that was so much fun, not fast but you always felt good driving it. (a warped sense of humour was required)

I remember when Honda got the same sorta bashing that Korean cars get now. How things have changed.

But the Type-R Series gets my respect. Nothing like seeing the red line setting just below 8000RPM!! What a screamer!
