That sounds interesting. Any links or pointers where to look?douglasgdmw wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 2:54 pmThought about an F Pace on one of those cheap as chips £289 down and £289/ month. Endure basic spec and throw away in 3 years arrangements?

Off googling now...
Re: What Car to Get #3
It's in the mix too. Although that was partly to make sure it was a better Golf than Scib has..

Re: What Car to Get #3
That's a great deal. I drove an E-Pace the other week and was surprised by it. It's more roomy inside than it looks.

Re: What Car to Get #3
Only problem is that offer is for basic 2 wheel drive spec. Would be interesting whaf a 4wd comes out at.
Also noticed there are seemingly good lease deals on Golf R estates if you can stomach the very dodgy looks of it.

M140i is what you want/need Dave.
Ps, don't be buying a 2wd F-Pace!
Pps, why no RWD?

Re: What Car to Get #3
Yeah.. would have to be the 4wd on an E-pace or similar. Quite like them on paper.
Already have two RWD's in the fleet. This one has to cope with all weathers etc so prefer a 4wd type one for piece of mind etc. At least the Volvo has a chance of success if I take it out today.. whereas an M140 would be stuck on the drive crying.

Re: What Car to Get #3
I liked the look of the E-Pace and sounds good for £28k but by the time you add 4wd and tick a few boxes to get a decent spec you can soon be paying £50k and at that price the FPace is a better option.

Re: What Car to Get #3
That is indeed fun!

The XC70 on M&S tyres has been impressive in the snow though. Just a shame the RS4 is so thirsty or that'd be a real contender.
Strangely drawn to the XC40 1st Edition for some reason, but not sure I'd want to spend £40k on one.

Two negatives make a positive but only in Scotland do two positives make a negative - 'Aye right.'
