What’s your Car of the Year?
December 5, 2007 by Karl Peskett
Here at Car Advice, we pride ourselves on letting you, the reader, know everything there is to know about new cars. We endeavour to bring you the latest in news and reviews on a daily basis, so that you can make up your own mind on all sorts of subjects.
Now it’s your turn to tell us what you think.
It’s that time of year where COTY awards get handed out left, right and centre. Yesterday, the Audi R8 was voted “Car of the Year” by Germany’s leading automotive magazine Autobild. If we were to nominate a COTY, we’d have to agree, as a poll of Car Advice staffers had the R8 come up trumps.
But, instead of awarding our own, we’d like to know what car you would nominate as your Car of the Year 2007.
The criteria:
- It must be a new car, released to the Australian market, this year
- It must be under $400,000
- It must be a dealer supported brand, with warranty (i.e. one-offs are out)
That’s all. So get to it. We’re sure you’ll have some interesting responses, and please let us know why you’ve nominated your car.
To make things easier, we have started a poll, please pick from the selection below, or if we missed a car, add your own by clicking “add answer”.

2007 Car Of The Year

Yep not my fantasy………………car!!
It will be interesting to see where it comes in the World Car of the year nominations!
Some fuel-injected specialist today went on againts the Mondeo for winning the award in the Brisbane Couier Mail.
He recconds it a “heap of sh*t” because it’s German, but he never said anything about the Korean Epica, no doubt a biased Holden person…
I see the Mondeo vote is up to 255 now. Has been climbing steadily over the last couple of days.
How did the FPV Cobra vote go from 20-odd to 251 in a couple of hours? Something fishy there. And the Lancer jumped from 60-odd to 167 ?????????
Are some people voting more than once?
Typhoon is car of the car year by miles
Yeah these polls are pretty useless Watto. Its very easy to vote multiple times. There is no way the Cobra would get that many votes, particularly as only a few have driven it.
jbot………at the start I think it was giving a reasonable indication of true numbers but I think for eg the Cobra I think some one has voted 250 times………ME was that you???hahaha
Nahh, not me! HAHA!
I can read body language ME…stop rubbing your nose neck and ears………all signs of fibs!! hahaha
I own an focus xr5 and even with an ecu remap which i recommend to anyone with this engine (mondeo/focus xr5, volvo t5 variants), it hardly torque steers.
