Thanks for the replies I think I'm set on the vex sport back, plus I haven't driven a manual for years and hopping into this vrx felt so easy changing gears, I'm not to fussed on the thin paint because i enjoy getting out the orbital for a little pAint correction, and the rattles don't bother me either because I like my music loud lol. But thanks very much for the help, and I will post pics as soon as I get this vrx.. but just have to wait until the insurance co. Checks out my commodore....

Hmm, the sedan actually has more headroom at the back as the sportback has a rear sloping roof - also the sportback is slightly more difficult to get in in my opnion for some reason.

But anyway, the folding seats are a big practical plus if you are looking to put some bulky stuff in the boot.

There are otehr cars (please no bashing) that have great handling reviews. Check out the Suzuki Kisashi - apparantly this car handles really well (well most suzukis do) and has good fuel economy. Slightly bigger for the family as well. 6 speed manual is better than a 5 speed manual from Mitsu.

Do take a look at the aspire - you do get more kit for your money but its CVT only.

There is nothing to look out for with the lancers. Their quality build is good and it is a really reliable vehicle back by the best warranty around.

The biggest complaint by members is the thin paint and the amount of stone chips that damage the paint.

agree, the paint is way too thin, stone chips guarantee after hwy

Hey mate..was this a used one or an old stock from a dealer or a demo?
Sounds like a great price for a VRX. Well done.
I'm looking into buying an SX myself...just need to start haggling with the dealers.

The MY11 SX are on runout at around $20990. Or you could wait for the MY12.

Yep...20990 for MY11..going to start getting for quotes from dealers...best so far is 20990 w/- tint and mats, but I'm sure this could be beaten. how much did you get yours for Jacqueline? If I may ask?

Thanks
