One Car for the next 10 years

[Vince]

Easy - 1985 Ford Granada Ghia... Because retro!

 

[Maccy]

The latest M5.

 

[Raymond Lin]

I drove a Yaris for 5 years and 9 months, I think I can live with most cars for 10 years.

 

[Scrutinize]

Ok, wouldn't happen happen in reality as I do c30k miles per year so change every 1-2 years.

Assuming on my current mileage, I can replace all parts including interior, engine, drivetrain etc that wears then the Mercedes E63S.

If lifestyle was such that mileage was only local and I didn't need comfort for 3-5 hours per day Mercedes GTR.

Money no object and you’d buy a 535D? A Sokda Superb?

Isn’t something like a Panamera great if you need some practicality?

Or the RS series etc surely

RR SVR?

I didn’t see anything about money is no object. That’s just what I’d buy currently if I was on the market for a long term motor.

RS3

 

[Jamesyboyjim]

A new RS3 would keep me entertained for the forseeable. Powerful enough to overtake in practical enough to live with everyday (commuting etc). Small enough to park anywhere and drive on any road happily, big enough to still be comfortable with passengers.

G30 M5.

V8.
Insanely fast.

Other answers are incorrect.

 

[Glanza]

Realistic Octavia VRS estate preferably the 230 edition, unrealistic with running costs and maintence Audi RS6 estate.

Personally I'd say E63S (wagon)
Comfortable
Better sounding V8
Good looking
Practical
4WD
RWD
More interesting interior

Had my XJ for 5 years now and there is nothing out there tempting me to change. Barring some scuffs on the alloys and a loose fitting parking sensor, looks like new after its been washed.

Both are special, no doubt.

 

[Uncle_Gravy]

Probably a GTR for me, Fast, practical and being japanese probably reliable, doubt 3s to 60 would be considered slow in 10 years time.

 

[da_mic_1530]

The latest M5.

 

[[TW]Fox]

No need to deviate from my preferred path over the last 10 years, so a G30 5 Series

Not an M5 as something that does 20mpg isn't sustainable.

Of ALL the cars you'd have a cooking 5 series? You must really like them

 

[ahenners]

Skoda Superb 280 4x4.

Should I suddenly find a few quid and not care about daily running costs, then an RS6.

Some people just like boring. Otherwise why would they buy new Volvos or Peugeots?

 

[Dunks]

I don't do mega miles (<10k a year easily, probably close to 4-5k), so an M2 would probably do the job. No plans for kids so that'll suit me for 10 years easily. Maybe the G30 M5 if I felt like I needed some more space.

 

[Worthy]

Probably an RS6. Fast, comfortable, looks nice, and a big enough boot to throw stuff from Ikea in should the need arise.
