I think I'd rather have a Porsche Cayenne. At least you get some badge to go with all the hassle of owning one, it's fundamentally the same car but with an engine range that isn't cack.

I get 10Mpg some days

Lol with this on the back

Poor guy who paid £47k - ouch!

He's the fool.

Can't give this sort of machine away at the moment.

It's got the same switches as my A5 Octavia, which made me chuckle.

@Fox - No-one knows their cars like you geezer.

UGLY as sin!!

This is the one time that VW has more kudos than Porsche IMO.

I don't want to insult any Cayenne owners with what I was about to say.

V10 tdi would be my choice.

Because we all from time to time need to tow things:

He's an ex MOT tester, done mechanicing all his life. Very good at body repairs too.

You ever changed a sparking plug Fox?

20 years the mechanicing, man an' boy.

Dont worry about that noise love, they all do it.

He's come from from a LANDROVER. Have you ever owned one?

The Touareg feels like a brand new Bentley in comparison.

SkodaMart · 14 Nov 2012 at 12:27

It also lives on a farm, and actually needs 4 x 4 drive.

The proximity alarms go crazy driving up the narrow lanes though!

No I'm not qualified to own a landrover as i've only got one Labrador.

Maybe the Touaregs more for you then?

Or a Volvo!!

mikeh501 · 14 Nov 2012 at 16:42

given hes a land rover man then he wont be too annoyed when the touareg breaks down. not exactly the most reliable 4x4. woman at work has one and it spent about 4 months in the garage in the first 12 months of ownership.

I hadn't worked out how to do that, it took me a couple of minutes to find the hand brake release

Crezzlin · 14 Nov 2012 at 18:25

Yeah everyone that has used the car cant find the hand brake release, the Gf left it on once :s

Because it's a 6 year old German car? Hobbies including going wrong, yet again.

I appreciate that this thread will now go the way they normally do when you ask about bills, which will be your beleif that because you had an X5 that didn't break, then thats the norm

The x5 has needed stuff doing but nothing eye watering. I guess I'm the exception to your rule that 8 year old German diesel cars are 100% obliged to get car AIDS at least every 3 months and that a £600 per year warranty is the only way to protect yourself. Lucky me.
