I really struggle with these questions in pretty much the same way I struggle with choosing cars in real life. Oddly 15 or 20 years ago I’d have found it easier - it would probably been:

911 - fun
Range Rover - practicality / long distance
Mini - station / shopping

Now I find it much harder.

RR would still win for the practicality / luxury / long distance thing
I really fancy an Aventador for the theatre

Which leaves one more.

Probably 911 but I do also like the M760Li

First world problems...

Family Car:
Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackback


Wife's Car:
Abarth 695 Rivale


Super Car
Lamborghini Aventador SV


I would quite fancy a Wraith Black Badge as well, but it doesn't quite fit.

Ok I can’t resist:

Occasional daily and track days: McLaren Senna MSO (huge Senna fanboy, sorry)



Sunny weekends and touring: Lister knobbly continuation.



For all other duties: xc90 - best family car we’ve ever had (RR, Stevio, Cayenne etc. all a bit too flash for me)

[dazwalsh]

Volvo xc90 with the hybrid engine for family stuff



Mustang shelby 350 for the weekend toy



And has to be a P1 for the nutty track days

[ukaskew]

Being extremely boring and practical about this, so taking into account running costs and drive/garage space:

1. VW California Ocean (for weekend trips)
2. Mini Countryman JCW (wife's daily)
3. VW Up GTi (my daily)

Possibly one of the cheapest 3 yet, but unlike most others I could afford to run them for a few years!

[Obi Wan]

Ferrari 488 Pista
Porsche GT2 RS
Lamborghini Aventador SVJ

[sparks_E46]

BMW M5 for the long cross country road trips.

Aston Martin Vantage Volante for the summer.

Jeep Grande Cherokee for everything else. With the biggest petrol engine they do. I’d proper pimp it for mega off road duties too. I would want it as big, chunky, crass and American as possible.

Assuming my generous benefactor allows a budget for running costs!

Oh, agree the old stuff would be on my list given the choice.

Been weighing up what new car to buy. Budget is in theory unlimited so went to look at a Panamera Sportbrake Turbo...but the boot is too small, and the fifth seat too restricted by transmission tunnel to be any good as an all purpose car. I’m back to looking at Amg 63 estates because I only really want one car for all things...but I’d rather have a Volvo and an S65 really. Camper would be fun too I think.

I do not understand people are allowed any car in the world and they are suggesting Fords and Hondas.


RR Vogue for discreet days and tip runs etc.

Yet you are suggesting a RR vogue which imo is a total p.o.s. Different people like different things.

Saw one of these for the first time on the road (a country lane) today. Looked ridiculous.

Appreciate that that may not be the case in Dubai though 😏

(And am not one of the Dubai knockers having lived there - could just about get away with one there, I think ...)

Running costs for one. All very well having a McLaren on the drive but a) I couldn't afford to run it, and b) I'd feel like a complete knob driving it to Uni (my workplace).

An Up GTi however? It will fit on the drive and down the narrow lanes that make up 75% of my drive to work, I can afford to run it, my son will easily fit in the back, I can still have fun on busy, slowish roads in it, nobody is going to try and break in to my 3 bed semi to steal the keys and I'd always feel comfortable driving it.
