The Panzer Wagen is due to be punted in later in the year and I'm struggling to list a suitable replacement. I try not to buy the same car again (only done it once). Given recent SE wisdom and 'interesting' recommendations in other threads, I'm keen to see what you come up with.
The brief:
1. Ride & Handling - must be capable of managing daily commute through city streets and then feeling demonic on B and A Roads. Must be capable on autumn & winter roads (don't want to be stuck on the Lecht or Cairngorm ski roads. Winter tyres could be a simple solution...
2. Power - enough. Doesn't need to be mental, but allow tasty overtaking and plenty of linear torque.
3. Design - up to date aero, well built and, at least interesting to look at when parked. Not embarrassing to take to The Fennel.
4. 4/5 seats max, but could easily be tempted by 2.
5. Security - must be OK to be parked outside for the majority of the time.
6. Reliability - needs to start first and every time, plus all bits must work - no bodges or gaffer tape !
7. Budget - would match my monthly finances for smiles per mile.
I have plenty of pre-conceived ideas of what I think I like and hate, but this is where you challenge me to go a little out of my comfort zone.
Ask/suggest away
