Quick question:

About

Ok, not much help but has she driven a Furby vRS??????

it can't be dismissed just because of the badge, get her to drive one, and then say well................is a badge that important!!!!!!!! :confused:

Depends whoose garage you want your new car in....... yours or theirs

only one car scores higher in the reliability stakes than Skoda ....Lexus

what about a seat leon cupra? might be some cheap run-out models floating around...

a debadged Furby vRS?

Go for the LCR, or Golf GTI, or wait for the new LCR. Or wait even longer for the new Octy vRS.

Or have an Audi A4 1.8T Quattro S Line 190BHP.

The CTR is a rapid vehicle but for a good reason, there's nowt in it. You even have to pay extra for poxy aircon (Not CC).

Import new Integra type R from Japanese lands.

Hope that helps....

Some questions....

1) who's car will it be?

2) who's paying for?

3) who will be driving it?

4) Are you married?

If 1-3 are "you"....get what you want and if she complains get another SWMBO to match car.

If 4 is "yes"...sorry Dude, can't help you.

Facts...bring them up and highlight what is good about....take a test with SWMBO....preferably one where it's unhindered by a dealer.

I would also show her other cars which you have no chance of getting due them being unpractical, too expensive to buy or run.

I thought you have an Octy before?

Try a Leon Cupra TDi

Go luxobarge - get yourself an Audi A8 4.2 Quattro Sport

SWMBO can't complain about the badges on one of them bad boys

Worse than SWMBO..............

MOTHER! :eek:

She derided the Octavia I owned, despite it spending less time in the garage than the Passat she had at the time, and the BMW my dad bought 6 months ago........ Go Figure. :nut:

So essentially, I have no say in it.

But, I told her not to get the Vitara she's in now. After a week, she complained about it's ride (although she's driven it) and every other day it's "oh, it got no power, it; gutless"

Repeat after me

"I told you so!"

Whats an LCR?

CTR i get as Civic Type R.

Golf GTI might take some doing..........

Diesel is pref.......

I'm obviously keen for the Civic to turn up on the drive........

For your mother.....right....

....anything Honda or Toyota.

LCR is a Leon Cupra R

For your mother.....right....

....anything Honda or Toyota.

*Shudder* Toyota......

I'm pushing the CTR (mainly as I'd get to "use" it occassionally...

Also like look of the Accord i-CTDI. Looks gorgeous. Has sufficient poke going off the figures in the brochure. 2nd hand one should be around the 18K mark. I think that's do-able.

Just a matter of my persuasive powers not being very good, or there would've been and lemon-yellow Furby vRS outside by now.........

It's for your Mam, you should have said....

It's got to be a Mazda MX5 surely?....

go for a Mini. LOL

The Civic CTDI is pretty fast. It gave my vrs a run for its money. But in the end lost out on the high hill climb towards Holywell, Wales.
