Whats up with the suspension on it too? Sits like there's a boot full of lead.

There pretty much is a boot full of lead - that roof adds 200kg to the weight, and its all sat in the boot in that photo

You’re now on the slippery slope.

Take out another loan:

Does the 335 come in a diesel version and if so, why not opt for that? Fuel consumption is pretty harsh on this one

Hmm, doesn't seem like it does.

You can't get a 335d in convertible form. You can as a Coupe - but there are many reasons why you would want a 335i over a 335d, and the fuel consumption is hardly 'harsh' on the 335i for what it is!

Why would you ever want a diesel cabrio anyway!?

Yeah I think I spoke too soon, autotrader says 32mpg, obviously a little less in real life, I guess that doesn't sound too bad.

[TW]Fox · 20 Apr 2011 at 17:48

So you decided to judge the cars fuel economy without knowing anything about its fuel economy?

What a curious thing to do

lolism · 20 Apr 2011 at 18:47

32mpg combined? That's pretty damn good for what it is. For the past two months I always seem to end up hooning it home behind one, the noise of them alone fills me with so much want.

[TW]Fox · 20 Apr 2011 at 18:49

The new model is 32mpg combined, the ones Headrat are looking at have a combined consumption figure of 29.7 for the manual.

Thats still pretty good. I may need to get saving and treat myself when the MX5 bores me. Though with those prices, I may need to up my game on the saving front.

Oh how I envy, I've never driven a car higher than 1.5 and and nothing with 90 bhp + and here we are talking about cars that have 300-500bhp regularly. I wish I had so much money to blow

Mr^B · 20 Apr 2011 at 21:51

We're all old though. I was driving utter crud cars until I graduated and got a decent job.

PraxxtorCruel · 20 Apr 2011 at 22:09

The thing is I don't want to or have interest to drive sports cars when I'm old, the whole reason is to do it now when I've still got my youth intact.

Well I'm up for adoption if anyone is interested

?
