Australian Cars

The more popular Australian cars are the large family cars and also the utes.

With prices of the fuel set to rise, people have started to shift their interest to medium or smaller cars.

And recently to the greener cars.

However the belief that you should be safer in a large car is still widely held.

With so many huge road trains running on the main roads, it can be intimidating to drive a small car.

Australian Cars – Family Cars

Ford Falcon definitely ranks well with taxi drivers. For more demanding customers, cabbies use the more luxurious Holden Statesman.

Ford invented the ute or the utility car in 1930s.

Popular belief has it that this Australian invention comes from the complaint of a farmer who said he didn't have the right vehicle to take his family to the church on Sundays and his produce to the market on Mondays.

Enter the ute, which soon became an excellent vehicle for the Australian outback. The passenger car with a platform at the back has quickly conquered many working Australians in remote areas and in cities.

The ute is extremely trendy with tradespeople and not only with them. And the new releases by Ford and Holden, especially the five-seat models, are very chic, with cool colours and excellent body.

Generally Toyota sells quite well as a used car too, it seems to lose less in value than other second hand cars.

Ford Focus and Fiesta are also very good choices in these categories.

The New Greener Cars

The previous hybrid Toyota, the Prius, did not enjoy too much success as it is quite expensive and apparently not that light on fuel.
