Trying to pick the right car but only stick to the standard two makes when the competition is a much better option does look a bit.. dunno the word, pretentious.
Bit pointless you asking when you knew you were going to buy a VW or BMW really. Editing your original request to put a reality spin on it for you so we have half a chance of helping.

I really like the BMW drive and seating position. Find me a car that drives and feels the same as it and I will buy it. I guess you are right - those requirements are out of the window now as I have changed my way of thinking.Comment

To be fare I have been very frugal in my first 4 years of contracting - firstly saving to buy a house, secondly sticking with initially 1 and then 2 cheap cars.... The expensive SUV won't cost much as the whole idea is it is a local car and for weekends. The other car will be low mileage and cheaper to maintain than a high mileage BMW. Surely you got it a bit wrong there SAS?
Look, its obvious you need a big car to make up for your small penis.
It's also obvious you're not a keen driver, but a badge snob, so why waste our time?Hard Brexit now!

Although I'm not sure what's wrong with making your money from a cash and carry. It's honest graft.Comment
