I strongly dislike them because of it.


Agreed. Bad service was my experience too. That and the fact my VT Commo became a petrol guzzling nightmare even when serviced is why i never bought another one!

Laura is our resident commo-embarrasser I hope. :D


My 2.4L ES CH wasn't quite as quick off the mark as the V6, but not too far off. My RA would kill it, no problems! :)

Sadly i haven't had a chance to embarrass any Commo's yet, but i did blow away a BMW the other week :lol: I think the turbo caught him off guard... and he wasn't happy either. Tailgated me all the way up the highway after that! :evil:

CVT smells. :P The new sidi's are pretty good from what I've heard though. Actually yeah now that I think about it its not that even. Haha.
And lol laura. Nice work :P


Hey can anyone suggest a paint repair place? Got a scuff on the rear bumper, hoping its just a simple job.
Any idea on price if it ISN'T a repaint? Just vaguely.

Graham, why were you at a train station when you have a car? Drunk? lol. :) Ergh, public transport is the worst, if i drink i arrange a cab or a designated driver.

Got done by a speed camera today, bastards :evil: Hate those things!

I have always said, it's not speed that kills, just bad driving! Revenue raisers, that's all those things are, grrr. lol.

At least i think i was only 20km's over, max. Could be worse.

I drive my car to the train station then catch the train to work, I stayed back after work yesterday though, driving in to perth costs too much :(


Ouch!! I hate speed cameras too, my radar detector has saved me heaps but the new cameras being laser based won't be detected.. I may need to invest in a laser jammer. Or just not speed, but easier said than done.

hmm 10-19 would be 3 demerits and $150, I've had that fine twice :(

That's fair enough, if i worked in the city i'd probably catch a train too. Fuel use would skyrocket in the RA doing bumper to bumper driving everyday! Parking costs too much as well there. I'm lucky enough to have free parking where i work, and not too far from home.

Yep, spewin about the speeding fine. I have all my points though, this is the first time i've been done in literally years. Coincidence that it was inside a month of owning an RA? lol, probs not! :)

ooh lucky, $8 a day here. and I hate peak hour traffic with a passion, half of perth drivers can't drive/merge :(

aww, and I bet the speeding fine will only be a once off too, hopefully :D
