I'm pissed off with my Merc - when it gets warm it doesn't want to accelerate from a standstill. It just sits there refusing to rev or move. I've just paid a so-called specialist nearly £800 for a service and to try and fix the problem and it's made no bloody difference.
So now I'm thinking I'm done with this car and I should buy another one. I potentially have about £4000 I can spend. Can I buy anything that will actually be reliable for that? And bear in mind that I don't like sensible things like Hondas and Toyotas, can I get both reliable and interesting?
