Brakes are horrific on them......

Not the only thing, have you seen one in the flesh ?

Yeah I have, I like them Although I have a limited budget so it's looking more like I'll get a Vectra 3.0 V6 CDTi

I think you'd get the Signum cheaper to be honest.

Been trying to convince myself that I don't need this

Yeah you do need it. I can't think of any reason why you don't

In all seriousness they are brilliant cars superbly comfortable and silly quick!


Oh but... my stepdad hit a deer with his and each Xenon headlight was £700... and tyres are about £1000 for all 4. It is still a £50k car at the end of the day.

Fancied one of these since I saw one on a British "comedy" program in the 70's - had the plate GAV 1N, IIRC - anybody recall what the program was?

Italian style and American muscle. Nice!

(DeTomaso Pantera if you're not familiar).

I like this, with tan leather it would be perfect.

Think this is the only car I can think of right now that I prefer the estate to the saloon.
Just noticed it's the slow DRIVe model, this one would be much better:

Dad had one for about half a year.

Lovely thing really. Looks good, interior is wonderful and it's extremely comfy. No real point in picking the estate over the saloon though, the boot size is woeful.

They do look very nice, boot space isn't a huge concern but on a Volvo estate you would expect a large boot.
Anyway, today I'm very much liking these:

Really ? Get yourself an S3.....

[farrendahl]

Today it's a bit of a two's up for me :

Number 1



Shame I don't have a spare £15k knocking around.

Number 2



The temptation to put the ZT-T up for sale and get this is HUGE

I drove one today. It was monumental.

Big soft spot for these. Fire was reignited the other day when one went STORMING past me and then changed down....*pop pop pop*.

Niiiice. Estates going sideways look bloomin' cool
