Cars built for AU conditions? Biggest load of tripe I have ever heard.
May be back in 60's and 70's but now it isn't true. Our climate is similar to that experienced in the US, actually they have worse conditions, snow, heat (Mojave Desert), salt on the roads, etc. Our roads are rubbish but there are a range of these all over the world. My Focus XR5 after 6.5 years, 160000km, has an interior like new, leather seats have kept their bolstering and show no signs of fade and the dash, still in tact and no cracks. Compartievly my BA Falcon by 110000km had a worn out steering wheel (cracks and peeling), the dash was coming adrift close to the windscreen and the seat bolstering had diminished completely. The saving grace I'll admit is the A/C, the Falcon's one outshines the one in the Focus by a mile.
