Reply to: Time to replace my trusty 6 MPS

How did you get on with the MPS (I am considering one for my next car)?

I've read that they are comfortable and fast, but perhaps a bit boring?

It's art on wheels.

Agree. A stunning looking car.

What a beautiful car - Cortese Bath : Maserati GranTurismo 4.2 V8

In my opinion of course. Ignore the fact that it will almost certainly break down, let your heart overrule your head.

What's a good leftfield alternative?

How about a boat?

I've had a laugh with it, it still works like a Swiss watch and brings a grin to my face.
But I fancy getting a nice new car.
Nothing mainstream, no BMWs, Audi or Mercs, too ubiqitous.
What's a good leftfield alternative? Or do we lack any choice iin the matter?

Cars don't excite me as much as property.

A shed on wheels should do nicely then.

He said more than 10k which is a bit open ended I know but I doubt SG was thinking £78k!!

sasguru's house goes up £78K in a week. He can just spend that.

I'm not a fan of BMW's image but this has to be the best car money can buy for combination of fun VFM and running costs.

The latter versions are under 200 g/kg co2, so £200 road tax and will average over 30mpg, by all accounts bmw had to detune it not to outdo the M3. The 335d probably makes even more sense as is almost as fast but does 40mpg. I can't see anything else that offers the quite same at the moment.

An RS6 has 572 bhp. How's your grandad's Volvu going to compare?

Volvo, retirement home, shed. Are you over 70 years old?

That's enough to make even you wince shirley.
