Yeah. I remember 5th gear taking one from the east to the west coast (or vice-versa) of the UK and they had to leave the camera car (a Disco 3) behind because it couldn't get over some of the terrain.

For me

Will always love my classic impreza wagon

Nissan juke Nismo
A great car and I just cant stop driving one

So good I have them both







Love the BMW X6 In white with black wheels
Nothing better then to show off I'm wealthy although the misses could not park one

But the new 2015 mustang is really making me excited After hiring one



still drawn to old school classics like a jag XJS

Same ballpark as you with age, I'm 28. I couldn't modify it, I'd be embarrassed to drive it But a nice, un-molested example for nipping to the shops and back would be fun I think. I'd have to use it for something at least, couldn't leave it parked up on the driveway.

I did see one of the bay of e not so long ago. Yellow, with just the rear windows tinted. Looked clean, one owner from new I think. Wanted about 2.5k for it though...

M135i; it's powerful,RWD and doesn't look like a bland Euroblob.

What on Earth was I thinking?

Quite like the M135i, would probably consider one if I was to go down the Bmw route next, I know there slightly quicker then my previous MK7 Golf R, But I love the grip of 4wd so I always seem to over look BMW's when im looking for a new car, but having seen a few of them on the roads Im starting to like them a lot.

Do they do a M135i/M235i X drive??

Matteeboy

Only abroad!! I reckon they might do one here eventually though.
It does lose a bit of handling finesse though and it sits higher.

Honestly they are such a hoot; we've done long haul to Germany in total comfort and I still take it for local drives just for the sake of it.
Whack a BMW Performance or BCS exhaust on it and it sounds property exotic (too loud for us!) but even standard it sounds great.

Torque peaks at 1300rpm so it has oomph right through the rev range; coupled with the 8 speed auto you have a heck of a car.

It's recently had a facelift and a few interior tweaks; I prefer our shape but the headlights are a bit odd.

Worth a try; I got £6k off list on a new factory order.

In LHD they do....I'm waiting for the day they make a RHD version, and then I'll buy it.

I already have two other RWD cars and don't want a third, so like you I want the AWD.

Matteeboy

Ours is 5 door, auto, grey paint, red leather, Advanced audio, Business sat nav, comfort pack (cruise and parking sensors), heated seats and that's about it.
I did consider adaptive but we found that standard suspension was fine; it's also much easier to upgrade if needed.

the del sol was an absolute sin of a car , ruined the crx's credibility . the mk2 crx vtec on the other hand was a brilliant car and rare,

I'm clearly turning into a chav with old age (or midlife crisis) - I test drove a Corsa VXR in lime green today, the Nurburgring edition and i'm in love, fecking thing was so much fun and love the look of them. I want one!

Lad at work has a Corsa VXR, the seats are amazing I would seriously consider one, think there great cars!!!

An0n0m0us

The new model due out next month is on a deal at the moment on PCH for £149 a month 1+23 for partner company employees which I am or £165 if not a partner employee. I am seriously considering one after todays test drive as the new model is going to be basically the same spec as the current Nurburgring edition as standard. 205bhp in a roller skate surprised me when I pressed the loud pedal

The revamped beetle too! First effort at retro was rubbish. Think they got it properly right this time

Amazing what a few changes can make!

Matteeboy

Oops I missed this post! None on ours; it needs to be a fairly subtle work car so we'll keep it stealth.
It's powerful enough for us but some are modding them to well over 400bhp/500lbs-ft.

New Focus RS...

Matteeboy

I think it should be great - far more interesting than the VAG offerings and it'll handle too.

zip106

Should be - I'd like to think Ford know what they're doing, they've been making cars like this for far longer than the Germans have after all.

Nothing wrong with many of the choices on this thread, not really anything left field other than neil-h's choices.

At the moment I am strangely drawn to the Dacia Duster.
Similar vein but much older, Talbot-Matra Rancho, a design ahead of its time.
Citroen CX TRS saloon. Preferably late model, in black, fairly basic spec with the solid disc plastic wheel hubcaps.

Although this is properly cool http://www.virtualmodels.org/VM_imag...k-Gullwing.jpg
