Need a family car now

Wow lots of moaners. Started with a simple question - there's me thinking you guys were a friendly lot with sound advice.

I thought speaking to hostile Afghan Villagers was hard work - now I have changed my mind.

Were not all that bad. Just don't mention fuel economy or carbon build up and you should be fine :bigblink:

Honestly it's not the fuel economy or carbon build up.

I think I put my feed across the wrong way. I apologise to you all.

Know what Mark means. Mine's not a daily driver, so when I sell of the other 4(!) cars blocking the drive and garage I'll be looking for a workhorse that the dogs can go in and I won't be bothered if it gets scratched. Mind you, for the holiday in Scotland this year the RS4 will be the vehicle of choice :thumbs:

Come on, an RS is perfect at any time of year in Scotland. I understand that you don't want to put mega miles on the RS but using it for short journeys is pointless imo.
What did you sell to buy the RS?
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!

Maybe I should have explained it this way as this is what I meant to say.

I had a 2010 BMW 1 Series Coupe M Sport which I sold and then bought the RS4. You know what maybe I will take the RS4 to Scotland soon. Probably not a better car to be doing the journey in these winter weather conditions - I stand corrected.

You will know as well as me that Scotland roads are made for sports cars. You have to try even if it is just once.
