Milan.

Which one? You know I'd need two, one for each foot!

Sponsored? I like that term, I'll mention it to wifey tonight - after she's given me my pocket-money of course...

the trouble is Chico,

you're used to your Renault and that kind of price range

the fact remains audi's are excellent cars and very well made

perhaps you could move up slowly from the Renault by warming up with an Octavia tdi 4x4 estate like mine - it's an audi underneath with the 4x4 system from the TT

Milan.

To me a car is very functional. Can it get me from A to B? Is it pleasing to my eye? Has it got a lot of gadgets and gizmos? As I have got used to things like tyre pressure monitors, 3D satnav, keyless car etc as standard I am loathe to pay more these items as added "extras" - surely all cars should come with these as standard. For info you get allthese as standard on the top of the range Laguna. To get these on an Audi you are talking an additional 10 grand. Not justified in my book at all.

",

that's because on the Audi you are paying for the car and engineering

and on the Laguna you are paying for a piece of metal with a few gadgets


it's like, do you buy the beer you know and love or do you buy the one with the free beer glass ?

The best 4x4 by far? The Mercedes-Benz R-Class

Stop arguing and get out there and buy this:

It would suit Milan.

Chico, just take a look at the ground clearance on the 'R' class - practically non-existant!

Ground clearance? What is this? Looking for a family car not a space shuttle!!!!
