The i30 dosen't have those features on the base model yet got 5 stars????But with the i30 you can add them as an option ($1500 I think)The stupid part is that Auto Expert and I both agree that Lane departure assist is a pain in the ass and I have disabled mine.
Yep apparently they chose the chrysler because it was the closest feel to the outgoing pursuit cars. (RWD v8) Dunno if that's a good reason or not, but wonder at the business case.How long do these cars serve?Based on that, was $60k per car a better deal than vic's $120k diesel bmws?Thinking about fuel consumption, maintenance costs and reliability.
I wont watch all 21 minutes of this rubbish, but If you watch some of the chases in QLD, the criminals run riot, until they cross the border and are pursued and captured. If you want to talk bullshit, have a look at the number of 'evade offences' that are recorded in QLD and how many of those are aprehended. Here is a case in point; the so called social justice approach, saw numerous people removed from their cars at gunpoint. Over the border in NSW they were chased and caught.....The Qld Approach was to stand by and watch..... Which is better? Category: | The Courier Mail

I wonder who buys them once they are done, though from memory NSW leases their vehicles, so probably not their problem.

It took my wife 10 phone calls to me to get her car jump started and drive it to the mechanic to have a battery replaced under warranty. If that's adventure, you can have it

It took my wife 10 phone calls to me to get her car jump started and drive it to the mechanic to have a battery replaced under warranty. If that's adventure, you can have it not the car the battery, do you have a battery tender like you can have them wired to your battery with a easy plug in, when wife puts car away each night plug it in. tell's you if battery low too. all new cars use a lot of battery power, so these are a good idea as a lot of people just do short trips. so very hard on battery. I have used them on motor bikes for years then started using on car and ute.I also have a simple light set up you hook up to battery it tell's how many volts can turn on motor turn on lights check charging systemm. they need about 11 volts or they can't run.

As for getting her to pop the bonnet at the end of the day and hook up a battery tender.....
NSW likes their pursuits.. Auto expert doesn't. .
Yeah, I'm supportive of cops too John. I don't want them to sit on their hands. Maybe they should have better camera setups that will give photographic evidence of who was driving. If they can intercept them quickly, that's fine. But, if they do a runner it's not worth innocent lives when they run a red light getting away.
