Best whole home water filter system (town water issues)

My wife and I are planning to build an edition on our house. While we are getting the money to do so, I have decided to add a full home water filter system. The levels here barely pass regulations and I guess that's good enough for this town, but not me. I want safe drinking water, no rust or other spots around toliets, and also to be able to wash my car here, I gave to drive to my mothers just to wash my car because everything spots so bad.

I know things such as cr spotless are excellent for this, but the filters aren't cheap, and if I'm going to have good water for car washing, I want to have it for my wife and son.

Has anyone done a whole house system, or and recommendations?
 
No links, but I have (redundant systems for house and garage):

- Two sediment filters; probably overkill but I run a 30-50 micron in the first one to get the "big stuff" and a 10 micron in the second one
- "Berme" filter (I think that's what it's called), looks/acts like a softener but doesn't use salt. My water guy sold it to me and I didn't argue but it might be unnecessary :o
- Softener
- Reverse Osmosis system for drinking water

Both the house and shop have the above set-up, plus I have the CR Spotless in the shop. The CRS resin isn't cheap, but it's not prohibitive (well, not to me..) when purchased in big quantities when on sale. It's great for doing a Pressure Washer Rinse, which actually gets a not-too-dirty vehicle quite clean in a quick/easy way; just pressure wash it and walk away, letting it air-dry.

As I said, I kinda overkill this, but I'm the last house on my street's water system and seeing the [stuff] the sediment filters catch I'm glad I do it this way.

Ok thanks, I'll take a look at that one as well
 
Picking up a CR spotless system for a final pressure washer rinse would be awesome. Fingers crossed an open box deal pops up on a certain eBay site I know.
