Summary
What does this car say about you?
ive got bloody great taste in motors of course ! Its makes you feel great, the car never seems to offend people
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
they love it no matter what age, people come up to me and comment on the car often. My 86 year old mum loves it, my nieces/nephews in their early twenties think its really cool and classy.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes of course i would. It has lived up to every expectation and then some. Im a fussy bugger even on a good day. It rides like a limo but handles better than my previous 3 series 330 diesel. Its also very satifying to have a british car that in my view is better than anything else at the price.The quality, solidity and overall feel good factor.
What are you likely to buy next?
new xj if at all possible, have not seen the new model due in 2009/10 but hopefully it will be even better.
