Picked up a Q4 etron very recently. I absolutely love it, sporty enough, really nice interior, super cheap to run (surprisingly so), and the range is good enough for the type of driving we do.

Not cheap though compared

This is a worrying topic for me, as I think my current ride is on its last legs. And I have no way of being able to source or finance a replacement right now.

I’ve got a battered old Focus that has 170k on the odometer, and a lot of stuff that no longer works on it.

I needed a bigger car and boot space. It has much more space than similar sized SUV, looks really nice and drives well. Love the little perks that modern cars have now such as my lights staying on until I'm indoors, and the car beeping and panicking when I'm reversing...

Take his! Haha

I use mine both as a run around and motorway/long journeys. It's always picked as the roadtrip car so it's very comfy for driver and passenger.

I think Sportage would have been my next choice, it's just a bit more expensive.

Nope, costs about £7 for 300ish miles when I charge at home, no car tax. Monthly it works out cheaper than my old VW Tiguan and it’s a huge step up.

go on .gov ulez site and see if its compliant

pay for a finance check which shows up if its a Category vehicle, ie been a damaged repaired vehicle as the D dosent show on v5 log books.

get insurance quote first , its gone up 60 percent.

check on line how much the road tax is per year.

Non-descript. Nothing fancy. Well cared for (Apart from I don't wash it. Can't be bothered with all that hassle).

As an old boss once said to me, "Never ever drive a better car than the head of the company. They won't like it and your card will be marked. Drive something mundane and don't stand out. Plus you are less likely to get it nicked either."

Another boss said to me, "Watch what cars the sales people drive when they come in to do a meet and greet. If they are touting for our business and they drive stupidly expensive cars, they are all show and their company is trying to impress on how successful they are. Their product is most likely shit. Also look at their suits...stupid expensive suits ? Costly product and all show yet again. Avoid".

Built like a tank

Ate up motorways

Stuck to the road like nothing I've driven before or since

Not cheap on fuel though and the petrol ones cos a fortune to tax these days

Plus there are very few good examples out there now and the ones that are special reflect in the prices they sell for

To run, yes. Drive very sensibly and I can get 33pg on the motorway, around town 20mpg if your lucky. Drive vigorously and it's not hard to get it to single figure mpg.

Not much change from £375-£400 a tyre, new pads and discs all round a little over £2.5k.

To buy, depends what you want, can be picked up relatively cheap these days.

I've a 22 plate Hyundai Tucson hybrid.

I wanted a bigger vehicle cos I was bigger. I didn't fit in smol cars.

I found Ford to be plasticy inside. Didn't like Vauxhaul offerings. VW, Toyota and Honda were too expensive. Kia weren't too bad, and Nissan almost had me.

I find it super comfy, easy to drive and park (I added the tech pack, so I can remotely move the car backwards/forwards in a straight line. Amazingly helpful in tight car parks!) Drove roughly 300 miles at the weekend and did 3/4 tank of petrol. I think its a 50 litre tank?

You can get 5 adults in it. And there's a good boot on it.

Range Rover Sport needed an executive style car. Only ever had one problem with it which was fixed. Would never go to RR for service too expensive. Waiting on new insurance quote to see if I keep it.

I got the diesel as I used to do loads of motorway miles, but a second hand 2016 4hs prev has loads of luxury, plenty of room but not overly big. Tax free and used compliant loads of Mpg, can tow stuff if needed and can be topped up when at the supermarket or when driving. They're a little gem of a car.

For anyone looking to buy a new or second hand car there are a few things to consider that will help your purchase

ULEZ has had a huge impact on car prices. The ULEZ effect and insurance hikes are devaluing many used cars and has left many traders, dealers and private sellers having to reduce prices. Uncertainty is having a huge effect on new car prices and deals can be had.

Well, after reading through all the above posts I wondered about selling the bike and getting a car....

But then I thought, hmmm....

Its 25 years old, just short of 500,000 miles, air con is great but heater is crap. My arse goes numb after an hour or two riding...

BUT... its 25 years old, 500000 miles, and still runs like new!

I get close to 300 miles for 27 litres of petrol, I can do EVERY job that could ever need doing myself, insurance is just over £100 a year, tax £70. Its relatively fast and handles great.

I don't get stuck in traffic, free parking etc etc.

So I'm sticking with my 1100cc V4

Find a BMW diesel with similar miles which can be acquired quite reasonably. Bombproof.

Instead of doing that again I convinced myself I should buy reasonably aged car. 2 replacement turbos on the piece of shite Nissan I got on finance and I’m regretting it!

I used to like the idea of a Tesla, but having read and seen about the build quality I would never. Besides personal opinion , they are not interested in rectifying issues.

Look at Polestar if you are going EV.

If you're talking that kind of cash and don't mind fossil fuels, you've got plenty of quality options (I'd pick a Porsche Cayman).

Fair do.

Personal preferences aside I would swerve Tesla pretty hard - you're way better off (and covered) going for a decent marque.

I have absolutely no complaints with mine. Personal experience may differ but I don't have any issues personally. The way it is constantly updated too is something else. It's changed so much since i have had it and it's all done over wifi never had it back to the dealership for anything.

Did you get yours from the production line or used, after the issues have been ironed out?

I'm not throwing shade, but I think numbers speak for themselves and people are better off going for a more established marque.

I have never bought MPVs for any reason to do with having kids.

In fact I take most of the seats out because they are more useful to me configured that way. I also obscure any windows which cannot be used to see out of when driving.

Ok, I'm not a woman but, for the record, I don't have any kids I know about and certainly none since getting snipped!
