    Wagon advice

    Holden Holden Advice Holden Commodore Holden Commodore Advice Holden Commodore 2000 Holden Commodore 2001 Ford Ford Advice Ford Falcon Ford Falcon Advice Ford Falcon 2001
    I'm after an auto, six-cylinder station wagon for work and personal use and was hoping you could give me some advice on what is a better car to get. My budget is $19,000, so I'm looking at the Holden VT II Acclaim, VX I Acclaim, Ford Futura AU II, and maybe Ford Falcon SR AU II. The Ford's interior is better, the Holden's exterior is better, but mechanically I have no idea. Also, is it worth going up to the V8 or should I stick with a six in my position?

    Without knowing what your criteria is, it's hard to recommend a car to you, George. By all means go for a V8 if you need to tow a trailer for work or pleasure, though there's no lack of grunt with the six-cylinder engines on that front either. I would choose a six, and probably a Commodore, based on its better resale than the AU III, and go for a VX rather than a VT simply because it is a newer model and will have fewer kilometres on it. They are both reliable, so there's no real difference between them in terms of reliability.
