First of all before you even start to look at cars you must decide what vehicle best suits your needs. The main factors are how many people do you regularly plan to have in the car, how many kilometres do you plan to do and how much time do you have? Of course budget is also a key decider! Please find below our advise when it come to Stationwagons vs Vans vs Campervans vs 4WDs
Australian made 6 cylinder wagons such as the FORD FALCON’s are cheap, very reliable and most importantly, easy to find parts for in even the remote regions of the country.

These vehicles are most suited to couples, more than two persons is too much. It is also recommended that you are travelling at a relaxed pace. You should look for low Kms and preferably nothing older than 1995.

These vehicles are again most suited to couples & who are planning to travel for a very long time. Don’t be scared of high kilometres – Toyota Hiace can run for miles even with 600 000 km on the clock. Age wise we would recommend to look for any Hiaces from the age of 2000 onwards.

4WDs are excellent vehicles for couples or friends with all the reliability of an Aussie ‘six’ – one of the best cars for a trip around Australia. 4WDs are the ultimate way to see the bush, but a fat wallet is essential. Expensive to buy and expensive to run, however the advantages out weight the disadvantages, as many parts of this amazing country are only accessible to a 4WD vehicle.
