Ideas for a 'what car'.

[Asterix]

I'm thinking Luxo-barge.

Going to sell the Porsche soon and I'm thinking of going to something the complete opposite. Something wafty, quiet and very comfy.

Discounting the Quattroporte for running cost reasons, Lexus because they are so bland, not a massive fan of the BMW 7 series styling and interior but could be swayed and nothing American.

I'm thinking Merc S500 (or bigger engine).

Any other ideas?

Range Rover (the proper one)
Bentley Continental

What's the Porsche worth?

I've heard some horror stories regarding the RR but I'd consider a Bentley for a giggle.

I was thinking of something like this - http://dubai.dubizzle.com/motors/used-cars/mercede...

No idea what the Porsche is worth, need to research that.

She comes with many features such as night vision, professional sound system, massage seats, Dynamic seat, all seats power, panoramic roof and lots more

Is night vision the same as headlights?

Panamera for the best of both worlds? Really grown on me lately - although the 4 seat only config might be a pain..

you really need extended test drives for this kind of car. i borrowed stu's 745li for a week and it was huge to begin with but shrank once i got to know it. loved how it could go from whisper quiet wafting to warp speed in no time at all.

really though, you need 12 cylinders to do it properly. 760li or an s600.

how many kms on the cayman btw?

That is absolutely hideous!!

c63 hardly wafty!

also disagree in the rangerover. been tootling about in one a fair bit recently and whilst they are lovely they are nowhere near as spacious and do not have the ride quality of an air sprung luxobarge.


hmmm. might be tempted by the cayman. i shouldn't be but i am.

[6th Gear]

S65

Not sure I can do another silver car - would be the third in a row!

How much trouble would you get in if that started going wonky?

[shirt]

that looks cracking value actually.

if you want to waft, that's your car. if you want an AMG type experience then the cl is afar better proposition if you don't need 4 doors.

A mate has a W12 engined A8 and it's been nothing but a nightmare and ridiculously expensive to keep on the road.

Our boss had an S8 and the suspension broke, they wanted 100k to replace it, personally I'd have stuck some coil overs on and told them to stuff it

Mate,

Having owned an RS6 for the best part of a year I have to say I love it.

Interior is considerably better than others in its class.
Its Rapid
Its very comfortable
Its quiet
Its got 4 doors for the kids
Its got a tardis like boot

Try and get a 2010 with the V10 and you are looking around 200k...and get one with a 2 year warranty.

They are awesome cars.
