<p>Jacko,</p>
<p>Depending on how much do you have to spend.</p>
<p>Budget Wagons</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Circa $3000 - $6000</p>
<p>1992 - 1998 V6 VP-VS Commodore wagon - drive well, 9-10 L/100 on a run, roomy for sleeping, cheap parts, useful power, will go almost anywhere a new 4x4 will be driven, look for "seriesII" badge, and less than 160,000k. <br></br>(still wish I had my ugly old VP!)</p>
<p>Falcon Wagon with all alloy 6 cylinder - drive well, 10-11 L/100 on a run, roomy for sleeping, cheap…</p>

<p>Falcon Wagon with all alloy 6 cylinder - drive well, 10-11 L/100 on a run, roomy for sleeping, cheap parts, great power, will go almost anywhere a new 4x4 will be driven, excellent on gas. One of the best straight 6 motors ever built.</p>
<p>Toyota Camry V6 1998-2002 wagon, quick, reliable, and cheap to run, front wheel drive is fun on twisty gravel roads, and good for well over 300,000ks if serviced.<br/>Note at around150,000k will need new cam belt, and if it has not been changed, drop $1500 off price.</p>
<p>Subaru, had a liberty wagon with a 3.0L flat 6, bit more expensive, but great driving car.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>New Wagons</p>
<p>Commodore, Subaru, Ford mondeo. VW</p>
<p>or under 5 years old.</p>
<p>Same as new wagons,</p>
<p>Plus last of the big Ford wagons (if you can get one) or VW passat R36 or diesel.</p>
<p>All good, easy to live with, and good service networks. </p>
<p>Smaller 4cyl jap wagons, last of the Mitsubishi Lancer or Corolla wagons are good.</p> Get a Datto 120Y!tag:www.skateboardracing.org.au,2012-07-24:2144162:Comment:7492092012-07-24T01:18:27.122ZThe Davehttp://www.skateboardracing.org.au/profile/DaveRuys

<p>My mate hade a Commodore and he snapped it in half. (they must all be shit)</p>
<p>I hear the ford is good for downhill and a bit of sliding but its a bitch to get back up the hill.</p>
<p>Both work well at Bathurst though.</p>
<p>I dont have a licence and cant drive but i realy think you should get a Ferrari or lambo. All the fast guys are using them so they must be the best.</p>
<p>Have you thought of looking in the trading post as lots of cheep second hand ones there.</p>
