Never been disappointed yet - all the drivers look well over 50.
Like me saving to put kids through uni.
When I have done that I can get one but I'll be over 50.
Still, plenty of gold diggers around.Comment

I strongly recommend you to move to the country, it's not healthy in Laaandan

I mean you may be right, but on the face of it Milan's post and the Guardian article don't seem to be in stark contradiction, unless maybe it's to point out that NO2 doesn't leave one with a visibly smokey face.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

But more relevantly I despise people who buy huge polluting cars when they aren't really required.
It's not as if those behemoths are fun to drive anyway - I'd never get a SUV because they just aren't fun and also in accidents tend to easily tip over.
Saw a clip of a big Audi SUV hit from behind by a much smaller car - it tipped on its side in an instant.Hard Brexit now!

blimey what happened
SAS, the current Q7 has the air suspension, it is fantastic at high speeds it lowers the car down like a sports car and stiffens (oo errr) the ride
on terrain or in the snow I can lift the car higher
and regarding safety, the reason I love the ride height of SUV's is because on the motorway, from the commanding driving position in the Q7 I can see, not only the car in front of me, but I can see three cars in front of him, so actually I am influencing my driving decisions not only by the car in front of me, but by what's going on three cars ahead of him that he actually cannot see !!! just try to get your head round that, three cars ahead when they are starting to do something funny, I can start breaking before the car in front of me even knows what's going on
I really really appreciate that aspect of driving an SUV and for that reason alone as long as I have enough pennies I'll always be buying an SUV
then there's the, we can see over the hedges and it makes the journey more interesting
and since as a family we really use the Q7 only for away days and holidays, it provides us with first class travel, since living on the mainland we prefer to make long journeys (road trips) by car rather than fly, then as I mentioned earlier, if we happen to get stuck behind the odd slow coach the extra horse power gives us the freedom to overtake in situations where other cars (your Toyota Aga or whatever it's called) would not have any chance
then regarding the emissions and consumption, the new SQ7 is doing 7.5l/100km my current Q7 is doing 10. These modern Euro 5 Euro 6 diesels have all the filters and technology take away the dirty gases etc, and like I said, Chateau Benes is out in the sticks anyway
Regarding the main subject of the post, one car I didn't have on the list which should be considered is the Porsche Cayenne Diesel S, infact that one's got a 4,2l diesel how cool is that ?
And from what I can see the Cayenne Diesel S is cheaper than the loaded SQ7
only downer is the boot is smaller
