aimaad22 3490 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Unless you're absolutely loaded and can throw around money for fun, buying an Audi is just a massive no. Middle class folks looking to upgrade a little bit but don't have spare money to waste every month? Your only answer is a Lexus. A bit boring aye but they drive nice and won't be burning holes in your pocket. And that's pretty much all I know about cars. Since Renton has used the words Audi and reliable in the same sentence here I feel safe saying pretty much anything knowing full well there's no chance of it being the worst take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6315 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Changed mine back in late February. Contemplated a Tesla for all of about 5 minutes before coming to the conclusion the only redeeming feature for me was the farting indicators (if you know, you know) but i reckon that novelty would soon wear off. Also the fact I don't own my own place meant I could either fork out a shit-tonne on a charge point that my landlord would benefit long term from, or survive on trickle-charge made it even less appealing. In the end I went for a petrol A-Class. Seems a nice car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9038 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Short reviews of cars I've owned Rover 200 - pile of shit that my mother had driven for years. I'm glad I crashed it. BMW 1 series - absolute fucking money pit, ended up getting £900 off a garage who just wanted the parts. Kia Ceed - perfectly fine hatchback, cheap to run, cheap to insure, 7 year warranty, would have kept it but salesman was a total cunt. VW Polo - yeah, fine I guess. Caring about cars must come in your 50s, I suppose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caring about cars must come in your 50s, I suppose? The opposite I'd say, younger lads are most into cars. Contrary to what's been said, I don't really give a shit about cars, which is why I've had the same model for 20 years, pure familiarity so I don't have to relearn any controls. I just want something that works and gets you from A to B without breaking down. Last two cars failed on this count unfortunately. Suppose Japanese cars are the answer although they are canny ugly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caring about cars must come in your 50s, I suppose? I dunno, I've always been into cars to an extent, though I mostly keep that to myself, never been entirely willing to get into it as a money pit of a hobby though. Got enough of those already. Renault Clio - typical first car, one of the suspension springs shattered into bits going over a speed bump once and all of its electrics failed Kia Picanto - Slow as balls but reliably ate up miles when I had a long commute Abarth 500 - Favourite car I ever owned, fucking brilliant, quite want to get another one Peugeot 308 GT - Dash was shit, no physical buttons but a slow as fuck operating system/touch screen Honda Fit - Moved to New Zealand, needed a car, wife drives this now Nissan Fuga - Never even heard of these before moving out here, its big, its fast, it makes a great noise and since its an import theres a Japanese woman in the dash who yells at me occasionally. Brilliant. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastronaut 1236 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Mrs B and me are so uninterested in cars that after years of driving shitbox Renault's with hilarious electrical issues we recently decided "fuck it, enough is enough" and ordered a Dacia, Renault's budget "sister" brand. Looking forward to many more years of "when did the wipers stop working?" "Front wipers are fine but only work when the windshield fan is off and the child lock is on. Rear wiper is temperamental but usially springs to life after you indicate left a few times" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9038 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 The wife is more into cars than me to be honest. She was the one who advised I go for a 'better' brand for the BMW, arguing that while the car and the parts may cost more they wouldn't break as often. Well I spent north of £3k on fixing that and absolutely zero fixing the Kia, she can stick her car advice up her jacksie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16797 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 My wife's a petrol head. She turns into a bit of a cunt when driving. Mind you she gets that from her parents. I'd be happy with a Berlingo tbh. A car's a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
