Hey.

Spotted this

Love the look of it.

What shall I be wary of if I go and look?

I'd be questioning why the ad has a heavy filter applied to the images.
Also the after market exhaust on a diesel...defo been remapped.

New exhaust saves me doing it in later years.
And if it's already mapped, saves me doing it too... lol.
I see your point though.

Is the X drive any good? Got people telling me to avoid it

Even the spec seems lacking. No heated seats, no H&K audio, as said above some stupid aftermarket thing that ruins the widescreen nav.

What about a 4GC?
I just found a great car on Auto Trader:

I like that.

They don't handle as well as they don't have M Sport suspension and the ride height is higher. But you've no choice if you get a 335d as they are all xdrive.

Fair enough.

May go for an Audi S4 then

Which is also 4wd and not known for its handling...

What is it you actually want? A diesel or a petrol for a start?

Or just something that looks well good?

A 3L Diesel. Over 300hp..
Big enough to have a rear facing seat.

The 335d suited as I've already test fitted the child seat.

The S6 also fitted the seat. But I think its the A7 I'd need to look at.

S4 is a thirsty petrol... What are you looking for exactly?

Petrol doesn't bother me. My MPS does 17mpg atm

3 owners already , looks like a quick blast pass it on.

Yea, it looks nice, but must be something up with it. So I'll skip it.

Considering he’s looking at Barried F30s, I don’t think brand new S4s are on his list

Although he could import a petrol one from the US

Can't stretch to new ones.

Jag XF V6?

Tried that one before.
The kids seat didn't leave enough leg room for a passenger up front.

C7 A6 biturbo diesel or all road, or A7 with the same engine?
F10 535d?
Or even an A8 4.2 tdi/ 740d?

EDIT: how did I resurrect this old thread....

Not old.

Still not bought a car
