    Define better than? Can you put a family of 6 in a Fraser and drive for 600 km on dusty metal roads in the outback without stopping?
    Not better, different. You will find out as you get older. The word is different. Hey I'm not a Holden fan either but horses for courses.

    I think by better he means it suits his "needs" more.

    A fraser is not a replica... it is a kit car...very big difference... although similar in looks to a lotus 7... they are not a replica of it.
