Tim Reid Posted August 5, 2014 Author Posted August 5, 2014 Well, I tried BMW but struggled with the lack of toys without pushing the budget and I took a dislike to the main dealer. The a4 was a little small and the offset peddles were not for me. I am now the proud owner of a vw passat which had a DSG box. Great spec and a perfect fit for me and my needs. Quote
Tim Reid Posted August 5, 2014 Author Posted August 5, 2014 I didn't get to the skoda garage but will look at them next time. Quote
Tim Reid Posted August 6, 2014 Author Posted August 6, 2014 Cheers Simon, just what I was worried about too! This ones 4k on the clock and 12 months old so once the warranty has run out I will decide if it's here to stay. Anyway, what are you complaining about Simon, more work for you! ;-P Quote
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Hello. I have a BMW 5 series 525 M Sport filled full of goodies and it is the most fantastic vehicle for carrying and I get over 50 to the gallon. Would thoroughly recommend one to anyone. Quote
Terry Everall Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 My BMWs were all great except in ice,snow and towing on wet grass My Passat Estate is better in averse weather Quote
Ian Podmore Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 I had to ask a colleague in Switzerland earlier in the year why he had 2 concrete slabs in the boot of his 5 series. BMW winter traction kit was the answer :-) and that was with the obligatory winter tyres as well. Quote
