    So Im looking at getting another car, and passing on the old Ford Falcon Futura to the missus.

    Ive been looking and looking and Ive considered new cars, demo cars, second and third hand cars, all shapes and styles.

    And I think Ive come up with the 2 cars that I am thinking of.

    So, if anyone has any opinions on either of these, especially of the mechanically or electrically side of things, Id certainly appreciate it.

    The two cars are
    Saab 9 3

    and

    Volvo S40 T4

    Theres nothing really between the 2 cars on age or KMs on the clock, but from personal exp, Volvo are one of those cars that have a long shelf life, and age well. Id buy the Volvo


    ..or do i need to shut up

    What is your problem? I deleted one stupid comment from you.
    I wouldnt drive a punto if you gave me one for free. Id rather walk tbh.

    you only need to shut up if you are adding nothing to the converstaion. this post appears to be an exception.


    however, this is what I have decided to go for

    Hmm, mad. I'm in the same seat so to speak: Trying to choose between SAAB 9-3 and Volvo S40. So far S40 seems the better choice even though I can't really back that up, just a gut feeling.
    I'll need to hire each one out for a day to get the driving feeling.

    Found some SAAB versus Volvo stuff 1, 2
