No but it is compulsory to have 3rd party insurance that covers any damage you do to other peoples vehicles and property not just injury to the person.

Re: whats the best car to buy in Aus?
I am going to raise a few eyebrows here, but I have been in Australia 2 years now and my current Saab 900 Turbo 1991 has been the best car I have ever had. Fully loaded (Cruise/AC/heated seats/sunroof/electric everything/10CD stacker etc) built like a tank (great for aussie conditions) and it has never gone wrong - best of all it cost me $4000. Its the only $4000 car that is faster than 90% of cars on the road (thanks to the turbo) and still turns heads (the paint looks like new). Find them on www.drive.com.au

It may take a bit longer, but try and find a Ford Falcon or a Holden Commodore that runs on LPG (liquid petroleum gas, the aussies just call it gas). Powerful, large, very comfortable, and quite safe, and they are still very cheap to run. (running a 4.0 six cylinder falcon on gas would be similar in price to running a 1.3-1.6 four cylinder on petrol)

Easy as.

Btw, easy to maintain daewoo car means you can bring daewoo car to any repair shop without any problem getting spare parts?
Thanks.

I love older cars - I hate new ones. Especially European small models from about 1997 - 2001. All bubbles.
