Show Us Your Motors!

They are fun, but I think you have to want one. Not the sort of car you just buy as a cheap runabout!
They are surprisingly spritely too as they don't weigh much.
It's party trick is its turning circle though, but a bit difficult to show that!

Used my car as my wedding car back in November and we only got the photos back recently so I thought I would share a shot:

Great photo and the car looks excellent, congrats!

The Ford fan boys will be in here soon now you've said that Cookeh

Shock horror as people have differing opinions on a car

Scuffing the door like that! jk It's kinda cute.

^ lovely photo that, congrats

Great photo and the car looks excellent, congrats!

Cheers guys, we will see how this year goes but more upgrade and fixes planned for the car this year. If my time and money wasn't spent doing bits to the house half the parts I have sitting around would probably already be on it and I am sure the car would be better for it. For now though I am using it pretty much every day and its absolutely filthy inside and out

It's probably only me but I really hate the interior in that generation Panamera. The fit and finish is outstanding but I think it's really ugly. Fantastic car though.

Same, not sure if I've ever seen an interior pic before but that centre console is ugly as sin.

Hi!

Really? When I test drove one I found it to be claustrophobic, tight, and the materials of the interior felt worse and cheaper than my 12yr old Corolla. Five dozen buttons and peculiar angles and layout everywhere on the dash was also extremely annoying imo.

I agree.





The Mk3 facelift interior is a vast improvement, however.

By far the worst part is the infotainment system and the way you navigate the menus etc... We have one as a company car/pool car. It may as well not have Bluetooth and stuff because its impossible. The tiny screen is stupid and everything feels cheap.

Its comfortable, quiet, and doesn't rattle or creak though so its not all bad! Its actually quite good to drive too!

4.8 V8

woohoo, a proper engine

I looked at them 18 months or so back but couldn't make the man maths work. Would be interested in your thoughts once you've had it a bit longer.

I don't like the MK3 either tbh, hate the stupid handbrake, the silver accents in the trim show wear quickly and they all seem to be poorly specced. I wanted a 150/180ps Ecoboost but hated every single one I looked at and bought a Fiesta ST instead. Facelift is much much better.

The new model Brabus ones are nice, but a bit pricey and very few, if any used yet.*
Mine is a Prime Sport ForTwo with a Premium Plus pack. Also went for the automatic.
898cc Turbo 90hp
6 speed dual clutch transmission - with paddle shift!
Good spec inside with leather, satnav, heated seats, climate control and auto wipers and headlights.
Colour is Lava Orange.

I just tell people I have a rear engined German coupe

* there is actually also a special Brabus edition called the Ultimate 125. 125 examples and 125bhp. Starts at £42000.....

Looks good, liking the colour.
Here is my Smart ForFour, Prime Sport. Only added the comfort pack and the tinted windows. The wife has a Black Edition ForFour too.

Looks hideous

 

[acemastr]

Hand over your man card

 

[Jumper118]

Blacks alloys wheels to contrast the drum brakes, white car. Also the rear door window have black spots on it

 

[wedrum]

holy crap that is the most hideous car i have ever seen.

 

[Akagi]

Yeah that is a pretty horrible looking thing...

 

[chrislusty]

Glad you all like it!

 

[GhostWKD]

Are the rear side windows really pivot ones rather than wind down?

Not my cup of tea, but I get the appeal... I think?

 

[Andybtsn]

What's the safety rating of that? /dadmode

 

[Akagi]

Not very safe at all, its hard to see out of the paper bag you'll have to wear to retain your dignity.

 

[chrislusty]

Yes rear windows pivot. The rear doors open 90° too
It has full leather, heated seats, cruise control\speed limiter, climate control. 0.9cc Turbo, 90BHP. RWD engine over the rear axle. Rear tyres are wider than the fronts too!

Its as safe as any other car that sort of size. has a 4 star rating I think, but seen a video of it being crashed into current S Class and all was good.
