So, I've narrowed it down to Hyundai Ioniq (hybrid, will go by lease) or 8 year old Maserati Quattroporte, will buy.
Head says Ioniq, heart says Maser.
I've always had odd-ball cars and never suffered, and every time I try a new car I'm never happy, cheap and plasticky, no style, but at my age now seems to be sensible thing to do.
Ioniq: Cheap to lease and run, lots of toys, boring as fook, can't get excited about it.
Maser: Ace V8 burble, paddle box, lots of toys but no modern toys like iPhone integration etc, exciting, not cheap to run.
I should go for the Ioniq, ticks all but one box (no wow factor) but I want to go with the Maser, ticks only one box really.
Think I know what I should do now having aired it here! Has to be sensible.....
My next car will be a hybrid for sure.Comment
