Has your brother just moved to Oz? If so dont make the mistake we made. European cars are very expensive relative to local/Japanese cars both in purchase price and spec and also running costs (insurance and petrol type). Dealers can also be few and far between out of the cities, but everywhere has a Ford or Holden dealer.
Check what grade petrol it requires, standard unleaded in Oz is 91RON (ie dishwater weak) premium is 95RON, many Euro cars
have to take the 95RON petrol.
The locally made cars are often of a much higher spec and are often much better suited to the conditions especially if you get out of the cities.
The disadvantage of the locally made cars are the sheer numbers of them (Holden Commodores and Ford Falcons) relative to everything else.
Alternatives: Subaru Liberty/Outback (esp. in 3.0 flat six form)
Toyota Vienta (bit bland but v. reliable)
Holden HSV (any model esp. Monaro coupe)

Oop,s my mistake, premium was 94RON.....Our Holden Barina (ie Vauxhall Corsa) had a switch to change between 91 and 94RON.
The Barina was our mistake.....fine for city traffic but a disaster for wide open country roads. Thinking about it in hindsight, we should have bought a banger to last until we had some experience of road conditions and the very different type of driving before choosing a car. Our second car was a Subaru.....a much better bet in country Australia.
