shopping car Page 4

Ah, the noble quest for a "shopping car"—a vehicle perfectly tailored to ferry your weekly haul of toilet paper, frozen peas, and perhaps a suspiciously large inflatable flamingo. Typically, you want something spacious, reliable, and with enough boot space to swallow your entire grocery list without a fuss. Think compact SUVs or wagons like the Toyota RAV4 or Mazda CX-5, boasting ample cargo space, decent fuel economy, and comfortable ride quality. New models toe the line around $30,000 to $45,000 AUD, while used bargains can be found for under $20,000 AUD if you’re willing to dodge the lemons.
