Well if I'm ever near by I'll come and do it in exchange for a bottle of Aloe Vera shower gel.

Gadgets!

"Around view 360" Aka Grand Theft Auto view

Panoramic Roof

[Brad]

Gadget heaven! Only gadget mine has is air con lol

[Jamie]

Looks great Boris, that panoramic roof is huge.

Have just ordered a new Fiesta ST-3 for the missus, should be coming in March. Great little car, had a test drive and didn't stop smiling throughout, roll on March.

[Jamie]

Yeah, the old ones weren't ugly, just a little plain. I really like the current Nissans, I have a soft spot for the Juke the new Pulstar is pretty nice too

This looks great, hopefully it'll have a good engine to go with the looks.

You've got Keyless Entry and Rain Sensing Wipers!

[Brad]

Ooh keyless entry yeah. Forgot about that. No rain sensing wipers though.

[Neil]

Nice Boris!

Very family man but in a nice way.

Which model have you got?

Brain fail. Thought it was a 370z you had, it's a GT86.

Dusk Sensing Headlights!

If I had it my way I'd have a Lamborghini! Unfortunately my car budget doesn't go that far.
I drive 35k+ a year so it has to be comfy, unfortunately I have to have a diesel and I have to have 4 doors/5 seats so this wipes out anything more exciting. I insist on an auto too and this wipes out a whole load more. Quite a few of my colleagues all have Audis and Bmws, but they are lucky if they have bluetooth/satnav and a cassette player when they orders theirs let alone 19inch Alloys and heated seats

I'd looked at a couple of Hatchbacks (Leon/Mazda 3/Volvo V40) but they couldn't quite top the Qashqai in the reviews or the gadget stakes. Got a good deal on the lease so got a ?28k when we can often struggle to hit ?26K.

It's perfect for those sort of miles, auto is essential for
me too these days.

Much better than a boring old 320d or something, you made a good choice mate.

[nakamura]

Nice car, Adam. Lovely shade of blue too. Bet it is easy to drive.

The Nissan CashCow just won Car of the Year and SUV of the Year on Confused.com, so you've made a sagacious choice, there!

I can totally understand the appeal of Audis and Beemers (especially BMWs because of their focus on the driving feel), but I've never been able to share the love. Just too indistinctive for me. In fact most of VW too.

Mitsubishi, Volvo, Subaru, Honda, Nissan, Mercedes - all have styling traits that grab my eye and even some Vauxhall. Which is madness right because Volvos are shoeboxes on wheels - T5R for the win though.

[Colin]

Makes me wonder how far off we are from cars that just drive themselves, what a boring world that will be.

I'm thinking about replacing my workhorse estate car with something new, something hatchback size which is fun to drive but doesn't make me look like a bell end driving it aged 40. Can't really think of what to get though.

[charlesr]

For some journeys I'd happily have a car that drives itself. Or a Maybach and a driver

Colin, how about a Sera for even more glass roof action than EB?


Pretty ugly from the back though....
