As an alternative to a Falcon, you might want to consider a Mondeo, good size without the power.

No thats not what I meant.. I meant something that would last me at least a few years.
I looorve the latest Focus, but it's out of my range and a Mondeo I dont like. I guess im just picky.

Aussie AV, It was surprising that most of the insurance companies I contacted will not insure me in a medium sized Japanese ricer such as a stock Lancer, old school Skyline, and not anything remotely in relation to a Mondeo or a Focus. I thought it was a bit wrong to offer a person like myself insurance for a large car such as the Falcon and not for a medium sized car like the aforementioned. I will keep looking around.

The falcon, although a large car, will see you through many years of trouble free motoring, is reasonably cheap to register, insure and maintain and parts are plentiful if you happen to need them.
The Falcon may be a handful for a few weeks but you'll learn to love it and feel very safe, which should keep the parents happy

Thats exactly why I looked at the Falcon. I figured the Falcon was a very safe car to drive and one that I wouldn't be scared of driving. I said to them.. Who's gonna be driving? you or me?
kinksta haha! maybe you should just stick to the G6ET!
Keep the advice coming cos i'd still like to know everyone's thoughts on this!
