69 XW Falcon sedan, 3.6litre - Good car but thirsty,
74 Cortina, 4 .2 litre six - Grunt + grunt, frugal, comfortable, terrible front end,
75 Holden Gemini - Excellent car,
78 Holden Gemini van - Excellent car,
80 Hilux 4WD 2 litre petrol - Excellent car for its day,
83 Toyota Hi Ace, 1.8 litre - Excellent van, plenty of power, frugal,
80 Toyota Blizzard, 2 litre diesel - Rust bucket, horrid little car, shame on Toyota,
88 Hilux DC, 2.4 diesel - Nice car, very underpowered,
?? Volvo 244 - $3000 heap of junk,
95 Mitsubishi Lancer - Mitsubishi = excellent,
90 Subaru Brumby - Quirky car but good value,

Of these 21 vehicles, the worst would have to be the Toyota Blizzard, 2 litre diesel, 4 speed, rust just waiting to happen, terrible car. Toyota should hide their heads in shame, that's right - headS!
The best would be the Mitsubishi ASX diesel. cheap as to run, plenty of grunt, incredibly comfortable.

All the Mitsubishis, all great cars without exception!
