Hi there,

Yes, I am new this web site and I start with my old favourite question that I have asked time and time again - are there any "good" cars being made at the moment? I know, good is a relative term, so perhaps I had better refine my question:

I used to own a Ford Granada MKIII 2.935L Cosworth auto 24V postface and it was a really good car, but I had to sell it because I could not get the parts, plus I was not much good at fixing it, so I sold it to an enthusiast.

So, are there any production cars currently made that has the following:
Rear Wheel Drive
Limited Slip Differential on the rear axle
Viscous fan (preferably battery driven rather than engine driven)
Full sized, none speed limited spare wheel
Electro-hydraulic brakes
Hatchback
Electric seats at the front
V6 or V8 longitudinally mounted engine

i.e. A replacement for the Granada MKIII. No BMW or Merc even comes close from what I have seen...

Many thanks,

Martin

Why do you say that? They tick more of your boxes than many other cars, and I reckon they've got the most important options from your list.

A 2.935L Granada? Couldn't you afford the 3 litre?
