We had a base model rental Santa Fe in Florida on our vacation ( from the UK) and we were so impressed we looked at pricing back in the UK ( unfortunately pricing over in the UK doesn’t make sense for it!) Probably the best rental we’ve had excluding the GL450 we got in New York a few years back

I think my favourite thing about that ad is where it says ‘Porsche does not recommend exceeding speed limits’ - right after showing the car careening down back roads like its running from the cops!

December 2017 on a flight from London to Florida. In premium Economy BA where there is a considerably wider seat but also a big armrest with a big gap in the seats which is big enough for some things that wouldn’t get through in a regular economy cabin, such as some womens bare, smelly feet! I felt it on my elbow and…

I remember my Dad being recommended one of these in the mid 2000s. We had a late model E39 (think 2002) that had the CD changer but no AUX or iPod cconnectivity, and my Dad wanted to run his iPod Classic 5th Gen through the car stereo. it sounded awful but it was better than carrying CD’s around constantly.

While I haven’t seen rebadging, many people in my area debadge their higher end models. One in my small town has a black 2013 C63 AMG with no badging at all, not even the 6.2 ones on the side. Another has a RS6 with all the badging off as well, even removing the grille ones. Its a nice change compared to people…

Someone made a 1.8 Turbo version - look it up!

As part of a family with a lower powered 75hp 2014 Up in the UK I can truly say they are great little cars for Europe. The sort of driving I do as a young driver in suburban England was at first driving to college and doing small errands. The car easily fits into our tiny parking spaces, the light and wide steering…

Not at all - FWD gives you safe understeer when you’re too fast - RWD can be unpredictable!

Highway McHigh Face

30 Miles away - Ferrari Enzo £2,149,950 ($2,773,360 US). Advantage of living near London! Actually most expensive car on sale on that site in the country!!

Interesting you point this out. I live quite near one of Fords European testing facilities in the UK, and see quite a few prototypes out on the road and parked up, one of them being this Chinese only market Ford Escort complete with Chinese badging and LHD, but with UK plates!

Tesla owners be like...

We had a very interesting theft. We had a 2002 E39 BMW 525, and in 2006 somebody tried to break into the car at night. As it was very heavily alarmed and had decent security for that type of car, the thief didn’t get in. What the thief did steal was the drivers side door mirror. Not even a matching pair. As they were…
