Heart.
Very soon my kids will all be financially independent, and we'll wave bye bye to the Volvo XC70 (which is a decent practical car, but a bit dull).Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Plenty of room and very comfy.

If you want luxury and power, try the BMW M6 or M5. Get a fully loaded one, say 4 or 5 years old with low mileage, and enjoy that 0-60 in 4.2 seconds.Comment

I've test driven both a Tesla S and the Maser QP, the Tesla is everything better, but it's fooking boring, and expensive, but I was comparing new tech vs old to see if I could go with it. Still love the noise of a proper petrol engine, well, a tuned one not a 1.1 ltr Pug 206 engine...
Being the age I am, still look on a car as a luxury, perhaps I'd better start thinking of one as a device, like an iPad. Otherwise I'll start spunking money on a yestertech pipe dream.
Eff me, I am finally my Dad now.....Comment
