This is a review on my recent purchase from Penrith City Motors and the subsequent customer service…read moreI received after my purchase. I have been trying to buy a number of Smart Cars for a promotion that we were running, so I had a strict guidelines to follow in what I wanted... Penrith City Motors Advertised a 2006 Smart Fortwo Sequential Auto..... Ok that didn't cover what I needed, the cars can be no older than 2007 on the date of compliance (this was for finance reasons) so I phone the salesman and he assured me that the date of compliance was indeed Jan 2007, he also confirmed that the Car was a Sequential Automatic. Great.... Now the car was low mileage 65,000 and advertised as good condition, so I asked the salesman to confirm this and he assured me that the car was in-fact in excellent condition with very low ks... The car was in Sydney I live in Hervey Bay shipping cost was going to be $850 so we agreed to have the car shipped to Brisbane for $350 and I would collect it from Brisbane... I collected the car from a waste yard on fisherman's Island ks from anywhere, only to find that it had 1 ltr of fuel, (Smart Cars actually tell you how much fuel they have by the litre). And on closer inspection I found that the car wasn't a Sequential Automatic but a Sequential Manual. (A Sequential Manual means that YOU MUST change the gears yourself without the use of a clutch, Sequential Automatic means that you can drive the car as a full Automatic without having to change gears) The lady that was going to drive this car only has one arm and has So I had bought an Automatic and got a Manual, Ok what else is wrong with the car... The passenger's window did not work.... Both remote mirrors did not work correctly The washers did not work The radio did not work The overall appearance of the car and the feel of the car was best describe as "tired" if it had only done 65,000k then they were 65,000 hard ks..... So I stopped there, Ok they have made a mistake and sold me the wrong car, I'll go home and we'll get this sorted... So I wrote to them explaining that they have Sold me an Automatic and in fact delivered a Manual..... Response.... Absolutely Nothing...... So I wrote again..... Response Absolutely Nothing..... So I wrote a third time, this time however I threatened to go to NSW fair trading.... Response Absolutely Nothing.... Ok Fine.... NSW Fair Trading will sort this out.... Or will they... Spoke to a George Galea Automotive Inspector Motor Vehicle Services Unit Customer Services Division Fair Trading NSW Their response:- yea spoken to Penrith City Motors they say "you knew it was a manual when you bought it......" But I didn't, i bought a Automatic it even says on the Invoice Automatic..... and that is what I bought..... Yea.... they are saying you knew it was a Manual... Best bet is to take them to court, I can't do anything else.... But if I take them to court it's going to cost me a lot of money and a lot of time.... Yea..... that's why dealers get away with it, because people don't bother.... Then what's your job, if not to look out for my rights.... Sorry, I can advise you only... I'll send you a link to NCAT Good day... Well so much for having the law on my side, go to a dealer as they have strict guidelines that they must adhere to.... Bullsh*t.... So I could take them to court ....eventually.... and get my money back...but what about:- Delivery cost... Finance Broker Costs Credit Company Costs Settlement Fee Costs All the time spent on this.... So whatever way it was going to cost me and cost me dear.... So that is why I am warning you not to make the same mistake as I did..... NEVER buy a car from Penrith City Motors over the internet, because you never know what you will get.....

We stayed at this lovely place for two nights on our first visit to the Blue Mountains and both John and Sipha made sure our stay was as comfortable and homey as possible. It made us glad to be there at night after a whole day of trekking. Their installations are the perfect balance between classic home feeling, and high end customer satisfaction installations. They even have their own small cinema for those cold nights you want to keep warm and relaxed! Breakfasts were always nice, sharing the morning with the hosts and some other guests. They provide a lot of information and help to make sure every guest enjoys their stay at their home. Next time I go to the Blue Mountains, I'm not even going to look at other places. We'll go straight to the Katoomba Manor. Highly recommended

Veronica is an amazing host, friendly and also meticulous about all aspects of our stay. The breakfasts were completely delicious, and very filling, and fueled us well for our walks around Katoomba. The rooms are very comfortable, and each has its own private spa bath and toilet, which is a must for us. The location is right across the street from Echo Point, the lookout to the Three Sisters, so the views are incredible. Surprisingly, there is very little noise from all the daytime traffic, and at night it is very quiet and peaceful.

We visited at the end of October, and, unfortunately, on a chilly, rainy, foggy day. Scenic World…read morewas a good starting location to see the Blue Mountains. We took the cable to the bottom of the canyon, walked the longer path of the boardwalk, then got on the Federal Pass to the Giant Staircase. The trail is well maintained. As it rained our whole time there, the trail had only a few puddles despite all the water. It's not very difficult until the staircase. We went up the staircase, and given the conditions, I'm very glad we were going that direction. The steps and railings can get slippery in the rain and some of the rock formed steps are not as level as I'd like them, so going up felt safer. We walked along the Prince Henry Cliff Walk to get to the Scenic World SkyTram to get back to the main building. Unfortunately, anything that was over 30 yards in front of us was a sea of fog. We still enjoyed the experience. For travel, we took the train from Sydney, walked to Scenic World from the train station and took the bus back to the train station. Very easy to figure out.

We did stop to look at the "Three Sisters Mountain " range before coming here. I found Scenic World to be a huge tourist trap. It's wall to wall people and the rides require long waits for mediocre rides. The rides are short and boring. Since I was so bored I went to the little restaurant outside and got a small latte and bag of chips. It was $16 AUD which seemed like another sign of a tourist trap. I would have rather spent more time at the zoo or taking a short hike. Definitely skip this if your time in Sydney is limited.

Honestly I was quite hungry but this was a lacklustre meal, I had the chicken and seafood special…read more The chicken was precooked and re-grilled chicken steak with a huge portion of chips, three crumbed prawns which tasted like oil and a very basic salad that you could buy in a premix bag from the supermarket and three small piece of calimari which was like a big ball of chewing gum. The Chips were really good, probably why the portion is so big in hopes that you will fill up on them and you won't complain about a poorly portioned meal. I wouldn't eat or try that again. I don't like leaving bad reviews but I'm afraid this just wasn't good.
