  The ford falcon drinks more than the commodore above, I testify to that. I would go for a honda or a camry. But I doubt you'll go for a jap import.

  there is no COE there, so dont worry
  most people here refrain from buying 10 year and older cars because of COE

  my dad has a commadore (its know as the chevy lumina here) i must say its a totally different experience from driving a jap car. Jap cars feel very light and quite fun to drive. Although the Commadore sports a 3.6l V6, the car is very heavy and pickup is a little heavy, but after that its quite impressive. Also, the ride comfort not like jap cars. its very turgid. if u get the 5.7l SS variant then its different. cos the SS shares the same engine as a corvette.
