Fellow GCers who are with Optus or Vodafone (or one of the 3rd parties using them).

How do you find the coverage in and around the GC?

Hi we're in Bali for New Years. Family of 4 with 2 teenagers. Wondering where best to stay/be for New Years celebrations?

Are there any events or locations that a family friendly?

I'm now in the 'my eldest just got her learners' period of my life.

We've been considering a second hand Mazda/Honda/Toyota small size car (2, 3, Yaris, Corolla, Jazz) with a budget around $15k. Depending on the make/model this seems to put us in the 8 - 12 year range with KMs ranging from 80k - 160k. Better options roll up to 17k or 18k though.

But I was looking at the Chery Tiggo 4 for $24k drive away and I'm wondering if we're just better off forking out the extra 9k to buy new, get a 7yr warranty, capped servicing and roadside.

Personally, I grew up where your first car was a cheap bucket so to buy new for a first car isn't sitting with me well. But logically, buying take away a lot of the unknown's and minimise the risks, and I think over 10 years will probably be cheaper.

So keen to see if anyone else has done this as well and if my logic is right
