you need to stay away from daewoo lanos stevo. we also just bought a holden barina,was very happy with customer service up until we got the car but have had nothing but problems since
all holden does is make excuses[-X .
if i had my time over i would have gone with a pulsar or something similar.
p.s. you must have won too much at the casino

Thanks for the help lads...being a holden fanatic ide suggested the barina..but your not the first person to say ..BEWARE!!!
Afraid they dont make the cruze anymore and pretty much decided to get brand new...
At this stage the toyota yaris looks to be a goer (pic below)

toyota is a good choice. We've had lots of problems with Astra's/Barina's lately at work, can also be extremely costly for some out of warranty repairs.
Don't spend too much on extra's, lol, extra's are how the dealership makes their money from new cars, that and servicing. You only have to take the car back to the dealership for it's first checkover etc. You can take it to your mechanic for regular servicing as long as they use the right filters/parts. Don't listen to what the Salesmen tell you, lol. Also, don't buy an extented warranty, they're worth jack when it comes to claiming for anything
. But don't let me tell you what to do! lol. Just some helpful advice Stevo

GOTTA GO HARD IN DA PAINT
my 2 cents
i was a mechanic for 11 years, 6 with Mazda and 5 with Holden. Without a doubt Mazda is a 10 times better built car. This is just one example, @ Mazda i replaced a total of 3 power steering pumps and @ Holden on average i would replace 3 p/s pumps a week. I would never go past the new Jap cars, Holden have way to much trouble (the Astra isn't to bad). I have now worked for a insurance company for the last 2 years that sells extanded warranties, our main 4 clients are Holden, Subaru, Land Rover & Peugeot. Subaru by a mile have the least amount of claims on them. Holden have the most claims by a mile. Land Rover have to much go wrong with them for a so called prestige car and Peugeot not a real bad car but have alot go wrong with at low kms and believe me they are not cheap to repair. One of the guys i work with his brother in law is the head design engineer at Toyota Australia, he took us for a drive in the new Camry @ $28000 i don't think you could by a car with better build quailty.
