wat car to drive

i live in shellharbour and drive to maroubra everyday for work..
its about 100kms and takes me a good 2 hrs sometimes...
im in the car for about 4 hrs a day and my ass gets sore as lol...
i have a charade with 260 on the clock and its gettin a lill worse for wear... blowing smoke or what not..
i was ganna rebuild it but its still a charade and being a 1.3 im always dropping back gears and its givin me the poo poos.. i just wanna go up a hill and not have to worry about changing gears...

i didn't wanna spend more than 8k
maybe a 33 skyline?? 180sx?? nissan pulsar or a commodore on gass... or even a newer charade with a 1.5 in it.. somthin like that...
it needs to be good on fuel and reliable... i was going to go for a jap car because of a huge range of parts and after market bits...incase somthing broke...

let me now what u recon

dont get an AU1, there not the best quality wise, you can get a good AU2 for under $8000, just have to shop around.

you can even get a BA for around $8000 if its done a few K's or whatever.

but if your sitting in a car for 4 hours a day, and hate changing gears. then you need something german.. idealy.. thats what they're designed for.

ie mercedes or bmw.. but look at it this way, if you buy a bmw or merc for under $8000 odds are its not going to be overly reliable.

and i know what u mean about getting sore.. if i drive mums rodeo for more than an hour my ass/back is killing me!

thanks fellas... yeh ide like somthing with a lill power as well im really leaning towards a s14 200sx... cheap and powerfull... and heaps of parts...
nar stayin away from bmws and stuff... so much to service...
hyundai gets aren't to bad... cheap and near new... but kinda slow lol...

and i cant afford to live where i work... Sydneys a dump and i hate it ide neva move there lol....
i try and stay away from my place of work... its a filthy mess lol..

go for a latest model factory dedicated gas falcon wagon you can afford. My last 2 company cars have been these, cheap to run & maintain, tow the rally car really well..

just a tip from someone who has been there before....get a stock standard daily driver, make it look nice (wheels etc), as soon as you get a 'toy' car that there are mnay cheap 'spares' you end up another project

im not a fan of the huge falcons or Holdens hey i was ganna stick to somthing smaller....
but then the smaller cars have no power...
im not an auto fan they put me to sleep and theres to many hills on the way to work and autos just give me the poo poos lol..

Sounds like you want to drive a 'toy' to work and not a daily.
I would go with a falcon on gas with the distances you travel. The falcon auto or man will be fine with hills.

Personal experience: I got a KCII TX3 laser for my daily. Its not xr6 or turbo fast but its good enough to get to uni. Does under 10L per 100km... I think its about 8.something but my od is out so not exact... lil 1.6 injected 5speed man. She does a trip from Bendigo to Albury every two weeks and doesnt faze her at all.

nice car. how about the use time ??

I'd be driving one of these if I didn't have an escort (ducks for cover LOLZ)
