Oh they're very nice! Definitely the wife's car that you "just down the shops with" and then disappear for the afternoon!

Very nice! I thought grey, white & blue were the best colours.

S3 has to go, she's only keeping for 2 years max
I think the merc will still be just as good as the rs3
The dealer gave her the same discount as the normal A class by mistake, but to be fair he kept to his word
On the deal, so she's done ok on it!!

The cars going to spend most of it's life dropping the kids to school or parked in my office car park, so I'm not bothered about spunking silly money out on a car to be bashed about, I'm happy it's saved me the best part of 30k compared to the maccan. And TBH Porsche don't really do it for me, bought by 90% of people just for the badge

Macan is a nice piece of machinery though. If you can find one this decade.

I get the point, kids climbing all over doesn't do a lot for any car.
