I bought a second-hand 2015 IMAX 2.4L petrol in 2024, and my family absolutely loves it. I removed the third row to create more cargo space, so I no… Read more

longer need to hire a ute for transporting furniture (I even transported around 10 tons of bricks with the van, though I did so in 1-ton loads each time.). Two people can sleep comfortably in the van during camping trips, with the second row moved forward. The van only requires regular petrol (91) for fuel. The 2.4L petrol engine is simple and easy to maintain. While it’s not a racing car, it’s definitely powerful enough for daily use. I also noticed that its turning radius is much smaller than I expected for such a large van, and it drives like a car. The fuel economy is about 11L/100km with air conditioner running which is very reasonable for such a big van. The only downside is that it’s not a 4WD, but that’s something I can live with.

After having a 3 8 V6 Sorento thst we retired at 422000kms we bought a 2nd-hand 2008 grand carnival also with the 3.8 V6 compared to our last people… Read more

mover a Nissan Elgrand this car is much more sturdy eg larger stronger brakes ,larger towing capacity & larger & wider especially on the inside with rear seats removed or folded down ... anyway the main issues with the older V6 kias ( due to age)is the tappet cover gaskets hardening which then causes oil leaks either externally or internally ( which then allows oil onto the coil paks then you generally get a engine misfire ..changing the rubber gasket is a average dirty job but doing so often gives many more years of reliable service .. anyway many modern cars have a lot of problems these aren't too bad for the $ & because they sold lot hotcakes there's the choice of many aftermarket parts

Absolute disaster. Huge system failure requiring 12k in repairs. Do not buy! – I purchased a 2015 C4 Grand Picasso brand new. It had a 6 year warranty at the time. To be very fair, it was a great car - great on fuel, beautiful… Read more

to drive and roomy. Running costs were a little high (major service cost 2k!) and I was alternating between replacing brakes and tyres every year. However, no major repairs or recalls. However, out of warranty and just ticked over 130,000kms the Ad Blue/urea system failed. I have been quoted $12k for repairs. The car is not driveable. It’s a major and very expensive system failure. The ad blue system failure is a known issue with these vehicles and Citroen did nothing to recall and replace - assuming it was too expensive. I have lodged a claim with Citroen but it has now been 2 Months and they have not been forthcoming in offering any support or compensation for the major system failure. The car will now cost more to fix than it’s worth. Warning to all buyers looking at Citroens and those cars with the Ad blue system - just don’t buy! It’s not worth it.

Bought this people mover brand new from the dealer in August 2025. Never expected that Mercedes-Benz car will be of such a poor quality. In January… Read more

2026 it started notifying that the automatic daytime running light is not working, contact workshop. After sometime it started notifying automatic emergency break assist system is not working. In addition to this I also found that the airconditioning is inadequate. It does not cool quick enough even in moderate temperature. The engine oil level has become half just after running 7000 km and I had to fill 20 litres of adblue. The "Hay Mercedes" voice assistant is completely cr#p. It is beyond imagination that the company will roll it out without testing. The system does not understand most of the voice command and keeps saying " I did not understand you this time. The automatic upper beam system also works at its own mercy and does not provide any meaningful support during night driving. The buttons are harsh and make loud click sound. The automatic assisted parking system misses most of the parking lots and abruptly cancel the parking leaving the driver fumbling with the controls when the vehicle is stalled in awkward position.

Excellent for trips and business, not the best choice in city traffic (diesel models) – Used everyday, in business and as a family car, my 2.0 Diesel (2018) is fast, silent and low cost. Service maintenance after 30k kilometers. Too bad… Read more

they put start-stop system, a stupid idea for the engine, battery, belts, etc. The assistant for gear shifting is totally useless and causing clogging the particle filter. Overall, a good and reliable car, well made, despite new EU regulations.

Purchased the new Hyundai van as a tradie, the van itself is luxurious and very smooth to drive but after around a year of use, I had multiple… Read more

issues, both small and large and on every single warranty issue head office would put it back to the dealer, and the dealer would put it back to head office. The dealers “hated dealing with head office” and I can see why, considering every time I spoke to them it would take 20+ minutes on the phone, only to be told they would either need the car for 2-3 weeks OR the best one (it would take 3 months to get the part. This forces the owner to wait, which isn’t something a business can do without it costing far more than just doing it themselves. Stay clear of these vans, they look absolutely feel good but overtime are anything but.

We have the series 2 LDV Delivery 9 camper-van, so far so good. The turbo diesel engine and the German made eight speed ZF gearbox is an awesome… Read more

combination. Powers up hills and overtakes well. The camper van fit out is perfect for cruising around, the electrical setup is easy to operate, pretty much automatically runs and chargers well. Solar panels and batteries are all displayed and easy to use via a control board on top of the kitchenette. The toilet and shower works well. The bed is comfortable and the fridge is perfect for beers and food storage.

We got the four seater 2025 build in a 2026 series two set up which means we got the table at the front and the double bed at the back which is different to the series 2 setup which has a king size bed at the back and which turns into table and chairs. We are short people so it works good for us but if you are a bit taller you might want to get the two seater king size bed at the back set up.

Also got a big LDV bull bar, looks mint! and towbar added for the big trips out west. I’ve got a towbar carrier on the back which I can use to carry around my E bikes so we can go track riding when we go out touring.
