Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Rs4 is too small, RS6 too gangster (these days).

And S6 too subtle?

So subtle it hadn’t occurred to me!

Insignia VXR? I like my Insignia, interior build quality doesn't get close to Merc, but as a value estate with lots of space it's often overlooked due to image

Evo IX? Probably not what you're after, but they are just too cool.

XFR-S? Good luck finding one, but fantastic cars if you do

If Dammit thinks an RS6 is too gangster then that's waaaaaaay too gangster!

The car will sit outside a friends house whilst I’m in Singapore and an RS6 would be a liability- they’re stolen so often that having your front door kicked in is a genuine risk and I’m not inflicting that on a friend.

F11 550i? Not many of them about though!

Ferrari FF.

Panamera sport turismo

Bingo, back to full power.

Letter oex not a zero? Yes you are being dense ;)

Has an oil leak not excessive.

Only two MOT October 23 is the first

d’oh ! I was SURE I had tried that…

I do like them but that’s double the budget

I wonder if it’s because there’s no point making a 2l Octavia - the 1.5 TSI gives you 150 bhp and is lighter and gives 55mpg on long distance driving.

Also obtainable fun ICE cars are dead

There's more space inside for sure, but unless you're buying an MPV in the luxury car class, you can't mask the physical size of them.

Road noise, wind noise, the physical mass of the car, they're all very noticeable compared to the equivalent car.

A friend gave me a lift in his GL63 yesterday and you could feel the weight of the thing it is true.

Thinking of getting a 2013 BMW 330d. Anything in particular I should look out for?

This give Dammit some ideas for his next expensive car part of the thread seems to be on loop every few months.
Has a new car ever been sourced?😬

There’s one for sale round the corner from me (touring) that seems quite reasonably priced and well optioned, so curious to hear this too.

actually says 'obtainable' and 'fun' on the V5 dude. heehee

having to mainly get my kicks these days in an 06 basic as Clio
