So what car do you drive?

Cheers. BMW then, paying extra for a car you'll never own seems like a waste of money

[lifetime fan]

Auto because I'm old.

 

I've got a 5 now and love it so that's favourite.

Which has the best MPG?

Work pay fuel so that's not too important.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

BMW if it's half the cost.

 

I've never owned either but some general knowledge says it's not half the car.

Mayonnaise coloured Benz, I got a Miracle Whip.

My missus still hasn't replaced the one she got nicked, think she is a bit nervous this will go too.

 

If she can't afford a car, just name your daughter Alexis.

Took delivery of my Skoda Superb today. Enjoying it very much, no trade up necessary, well in grade and low tax take.

 

Glad to get shot of the Merc. Build quality was fucking shocking

Rightly so. Best car on the market, pound for pound.

 

You'd probably hate the Merc after driving a 5 series.

Got a Nissan Leaf the other day. Cracking yoke for my driving needs.

My car

 

[VladimirIlyich]

If it goes and is reasonably comfortable then it will do. From a purely aesthetic point of view the Audi looks a lovely car and comes with German engineering and a stellar reputation.

[Rico1304]

I've realised I don't need the Msport as I drive like an old man. Because I'm an old man. The SE version that I've got now is cheaper in tax, no PUC and equally equipped.

 

The wife had no bearing on this decision. No siree. None at all.

I've had a couple Mercs - I got an new E-class in about 97, and the windscreen wipers failed on the day I got it.  The next one had issues with it as well, so I've since gone with Audis.  I've had my current one for about 5 years, and it's been better than the Mercs.

I got a merc and within 3 hours of it being delivered it was on a low loader being carted off. I was hoping it'd improved...

 

The new e-class looks ace outside but I had a test drive and it's smaller than the BMW on the inside. And dearer.

 

Edit: and the sat nav looks like it's been designed by fisher price

Recently changed my old Nissan Pathfinder for a new Honda CRV. It was between a Subaru Outback or a Honda CRV and I went with the latter as a new model just came out and I liked Apple Car Play and some of the other modern features. I plan to keep it for a long time. Very happy with it.

I had 2 GLA's in the space of 6 months, as loan cars while I was on probation and my car was on order.

 

The paint jobs were fucking terrible. Especially in the second. Looked like Stevie Wonder has daubed the paint on.

 

The auto was ponderous at times, sometimes unresponsive, especially in eco.

 

The Satnav was Garmin lower end product that was so unclear you'd often mid your turn.

 

The 2.0d engine was gruff as fuck. The tyre noise on concrete sections of motorways was totally unbearable. The noise suppression was shite.

 

The way infotainment system crashed after too often. Especially on the 2nd, where I had to factory reset on a fortnightly basis.

 

I have to say my six months of Merc ownership got the badge snobbery well and truly out of me.

Cheers mate, just read that to the wife and she's sure she's, I mean we've , made the correct decision.

 

I've got the pimpmobile on trial next weekend but only so Merc can pay for our trip to Watford.

Decent cars them. I'm pretty much using the work car full time now and it's a skoda superb or sometimes get the Octavia. Really nice cars. I've had the work merc a few times but don't find it any bette than the skoda to be honest.

[SammyAftershave]

 

And proud of it.

[stringvest]

Has Philly branched out into shittoos?

[SammyAftershave]

By the look of the cartoon man complete with eyes, nose and shit ear on the boot, I would suspect so. A custom-drawn masterpiece like this would cost you a half-bag of spice, a Spice girls calender and a complete Old Spice Xmas gift set at Altcourse......so I've been told. Cheap at the sprice.

[Rico1304]

as part of the process I get 3 test drives. Now I know what I want I'm going to chose 2 daft options.

 

Thinking the 530m sport and A5 3l Quattro
