The Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3 and Hyundai i30 cumulatively claim a bigger chunk of Australia’s new vehicle market than any other trio of rivals.

Remarkably, they represent more than one in every 10 sales of not just passenger cars but all vehicles sold across the country, including SUVs, utes, vans and trucks.

Recently, the compact Toyota has had its nose in front of Mazda’s small car in the sales race, while Hyundai’s hatch has toiled away close behind.

But the sales charts rarely tell the full story, and with literally hundreds of new car shoppers buying these three vehicles each day, they’re all clearly hitting the mark with the market.

Kelly's last words before death by hanging, "Such is life." Very poignant, there was a lot more to this man I feel, but you can't kill and expect to live, either. :Dunno:

RIP Ned and all his victims.

f**k Ned.
He was a violent criminal and I fail to see why Australians continue to hold him in high regard.  :Dunno:
There are much better role models to follow.

As a sworn officer of the law I'd expect no lesser comment. No disrespect to you, because some of those victims were your colleagues effectively, only separated by time, upholding the law. My point is that as a human being I feel there was more going on. However the law took it's course.

I'm not a fan and I support the law always. Just sad the any human being can be driven by their beliefs to end up on the wrong side of the law, that includes terrorists etc.

Hope you can understand. :neutral:

  • My 2015 i30 X Active. And my wifes 2015 Honda Jazz
I watched this the other day. I think they have got it wrong.
Why did I buy, Hyundai i30 Active X.
Simple, Mazda and Toyota looks great on the outside.
But, the inside of both cars looked, plain and boring.
Even my wife said, the same thing.
Hyundai i30 Active X looks awesome, inside and out. More luggage space than Mazda and Toyota.
I am not fussed that the, fuel doesn't last as long as the other 2.
I am more about looks and comfort in, cars I buy.
Hyundai has my vote

The writer did fail at one time, he said that your phone must be connected via cord to use Pandora that is not correct! It works via the Bluetooth!!
