The Buying A Car Thread

Unbroken1

…collected a new (to me) Arteon R-line this week which I was pretty chuffed with, until I came here and people are discussing R8’s and Astons!

Careful. If it’s not wind-powered Amps will be round to slash your tires and smear dog shit on the windows!

Had to Google the motor, looks nice 😎

My mate had three of them I think, swore by them.

Smashing motor that. I actually nearly rear ended somebody the first time I saw one pass, proper head turner.

I want a go!

I need something to break me out of the Golf & Touran complacency I have. Whilst I am loving not having to think about much with them, and they’re handy as fuck, I need a jazzy goal!

Reasonable sized saloon, no complaints from me, much better than a SUV.

I’ve looked around and my assestment is that the RAV4 hybrid or the Model Y are the only two cars than make sense currently

Are you a reasonable sized saloon kinda guy?

Amps

Mad_Cyril In a fucked planet full of psychopaths, anyone buying a normal ish sized car feels like a win. Would be lovely if they were all small and electric, but lets take what we can get.

Mad_Cyril

Amps are you then?

Amps

Sorry. Yes I am. Passat estate at the moment.

Amps we should fuck our motors off for the day and sail Lpool to Mcr with Rod Stewart blasting out

A seafaring set would be ace

Amps

Mad_Cyril On the face of it, yes, I’m all in, but I worry it could quickly descend into unlistenable donk remixes of sea shanties and the Titanic sound track.

That said, I’ve had worse weekends.

A ‘deep trance’ version of My Heart Will Go On and a Donk version of that fisherman’s song would, literally, blow the timbers off .

Proper boat party, none of this organic sunset bollocks

The ship canal was not designed for belaeric silverbacks, count me in!

Mad_Cyril just stick on the Lange remix of DJ Sakin & Friends. Channel your inner Braveheart MC.

Is braveheart a seafaring film Al?

Any Tesla drivers on here?

If I ever had to buy an EV with my own cash I think I would buy a Tesla, mainly for price, performance, heritage, the charging network

mono-stereo

Hursty not a fan of the interiors. Otherwise decent

The heritage is a good one! Can you elaborate on their rich tradition 😂

Hursty I’ve owned two Teslas. Both Model 3s. The Performance version was so staggeringly fast it was borderline upsetting. Different biscuits to any other ICE car I’ve experienced - to include exotics I’ve driven but didn’t own. But even as you rocket to 60 in 3-odd seconds, it’s a disconcertingly soulless experience, despite the numbers.

I got rid of both the Teslas and am now much happier in a slower and shoutier droptop RS5.

Long live dinosaur juice.
