If not a grand Cherokee is a good option, that is what I was initially looking for before I ended up buying my old range rover, which has been surprisingly reliable

Had the Clyde tunnel almost to myself early, and slowed right down and nailed it through the tunnel and the noise is incredible, it does this kind of bark on full throttle upshifts in Sport + , wonderful engine!

Re: £21k Estate Car.... Choices? Opinions?

I agree with Dom.... almost. Still like white on sporty cars but they must have black wheels and trim to work. A white rep-mobile estate looks like the fleet manager refused to pay for metallic. Absolutely spot on, the girl friends white mx5 with black details, black roof and dark wheels looks ace ...

Re: NLC. Merc c63 AMG

Is the depreciation really going to be that bad on a £33k C63? I only lost £2.5k in a year and 10,000 miles with my last E63 which I thought was excellent for such a thirsty car.

Re: NLC. Merc c63 AMG

Oh they have soul by the bucket load. I know mine is an E not a C but it is laugh out loud fun when you are on it. A 2 ton estate has no right to be that much of an animal.

Re: NLC. Merc c63 AMG

Because you could get a 700BHP RS6 for the same money? They are very different cars. I test drove a 700bhp RS6 before opting for another E63. The RS6 was stupidly fast in a straight line, but you just don't feel that connected to it. If your budget will stretch to a face lifted C63 i think that is ...

Re: Plot me a course though France

As Andy says August can be slow. In fact anywhere remotely popular will be absolutely jammed with coastal areas the worst - it seems like the whole of France goes on holiday in August. The direct route down the motorways will take 11-12 hours unless you're really on a mission (don't do more than 30...

Re: Another AMG

Out of interest, what put you off the shooting brake? I had a look at one recently and I was quite taken by it. The AMG version is lovely. Loved the shooting brake , but budget would only stretch to the cls350cdi, which as nice as it was just felt way way to slow compared to my current E63. Edinbur...
