Will need to carry Mum, Dad, 2 kids, Grandparents at times, dive gear, ski gear, camping gear, whatever.
Thanks

Need plenty of legroom in back and V6 min under the bonnet. Other essentials are leather (child friendly), Auto (wife cant drive stick), Cruise Control (for the annual Melbourne to Brisbane boys cruise). Would NOT be a joke to get one without AC.
Wife thinks Commodores are rubbish - unfortuately have to agree if comparing with our current BMW's but lifes not all about finesse is it? Used to have a HSV and Senator but sold on return to UK few years ago. Black on Black with AC/DC blasting - makes life worth living.
Any suggestions or experiences?

I obviously haven't got a clue. Surely it would be OK when you're driving along - the breeze would cool you down. And I didn't think there would be many traffic jams to sit in getting scorched.
I need a 4x4 here to get down the mountain through snow and rain, I just thought it might be nice to get a 'normal' car in Brisbane, but know I don't know...............Please help
Mind you, there are far more important things for me to worry about when we get there !
