Not sure if you want a manual or auto but there have been mix feelings on the 5 speed manual some saying it's to weak and clunky and I think I would have to agree, owning one myself. If you can get your hands on a BF I would highly recommend it even if it might cost you a bit more. There are plenty T's around for sale it's just a matter of finding the right one. As for driving on your P's I bought mine with around 6 months left and didn't get hassled at all. Just don't flog it all the time and you should be fine, I'm not sure if you can drive a T on your P's in Vic legally you might wanna check that first.

Do a search and have a look at some of the common options that people look for. Leather and Premium Sound is always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they also knock back the cover over the other car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
