Onya, Batty, I doubt you'll be disappointed with your decision unless the thing's had a nasty prang at some time in its life.

Is the insurance premium survivable?

Assuming that's £78 per year, that's about one pint per week you'll have to sacrifice. No doubt in your case such stoicism will be difficult, but I know you can do it. :wink2:

Interesting, Jonny. I'm on my third German car and they're the only cars that I've never had a single moment of trouble with. My boss however has the higher spec'd version of mine and his spends more time on the ramps than it does on the road.
Oh, if only I had your luck, Bruce ...

My A6 has had 2 blown engines, a busted generator, and 2 broken computers.

Coming to a grand total of £15k in repairs.

Hasn't stopped me ordering another Audi ... some fools never learn, I guess. :wink:

oh aye those are conclusive :roll:

citreon in the top 10 for reliability, really??????
Lots of japanese cars rate poorly in another
and one's produce by a warranty company, who have a vested interest - also rating rovers in their top 5 - that'll be accurate then.

Nobody doubts the general build quality of japanese cars, but to dismiss all german cars is plain silly. If you'd pointed the finger at Mercedes, then you'd have a point, but BMW, VW, Skoda and Audi you can't really, otherwise us sexually repressed company car drivers wouldn't be encouraged to drive them.

Can only go off what I know....In the last 7 years, I've had BMW318, Audi TT, Merc CLK and BMW 630i...Not one has been in the garage for repairs other than when some bint shunted by CLK from behind whilst I was stationary at some lights...

Enjoy the new car Batty

The missus bought a second hand MG a couple of years ago, terrible car, no end of problems with it. Ended up part-exing it a year later at a huge loss with the amount spent on it. Wishes she would have got an MX5 now.

I currently drive a (company) Toyota Avensis. Got to say I really like it, not hugely exciting but a world away from the Vauxhall Astra I had before it. That was awful.

I see now, this is what normal people spend their money on rather than just pissing it all away.

Might try it 1 day.

have you bought a flat cap and some driving gloves to go with it? You know you'll haveto join a swingers club too, just to demonstrate your lack of sexual repression, or maybe just have a bisexual fling
