Choices

Times have been good. It is time to upgrade the shagging wagon.

At the moment I am driving a boring, but reliable car and I have been looking to upgrade it eversince 18 months ago. The ONLY reason why I haven't gone for the upgrade is because there are SO many choices out there.

I am looking at spending anywhere from $30,000 to $60,000 on my car. I figured that if I am hand cuffed to a massive law firm, I might as well enjoy life (in the rare event that I am not working my ass off).

In my brand new (could be second hand) shagging wagon, I will need:

1. satellite navigation - there is NO WAY I am stuck in a luxury car on the side of the road reading a road map. Plus Christina is the world dumbest map reader;

2. sun roof - I have debated whether to go for a second hand convertible, but anything worth getting would be around 5 years old and that's when they start to become trouble. Also, I doubt I will have the roof off for more than 2 hours in the year, so I figured that a sun roof is a good compromise. Also a convertible means I will have to listen to Christina bitch about messy hair. I guess a good thing with convertibles is that the wind noise will probably drown out most of her bitching :-)

3. leather seats - they turn me on.

So I am looking at the Audi A4, Rover 75, BMW 3 series, Peugeot 307CC and the 407. I could even go for the BMW coupe, Alfa GT and the SAAB convertible. At the moment I am leaning towards the Rover.

I might have to start test driving soon. Anyone has any complaints about any of the cars above, please leave a comment.
