dm2010 Report post Posted May 24, 2014 I've decided to celebrate 1 successful year as a business owner with a new car in the next few months. But I can't decide on what to get. Perhaps this might be suitable. Bentley Arnage Red Label. 6.7 litre V8, 405 bhp and 0-60 in under 6 seconds, not bad for a car that weighs in at 2.5 tonnes empty. 2002 model comes in at around £20k. If I don't get this, then what should I go for ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bed32 Report post Posted May 25, 2014 You won't pass many petrol stations in one of those. I know someone used to drive a Bentley years ago - reckoned he got 4 mpg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dm2010 Report post Posted June 8, 2014 Asked the leasing company what I could get for another £200 a month and of course the reply was "walk this way sir . . . . " For now it's a 2 litre turbo diesel Vauxhall Insignia. Lots of toys and 130 mph performance if I want it. And an annoying electronic handbrake. Gone off the idea of a fun car because it's just so damn expensive. Rather pay for just one car, that is until I have so much money that I don't care. Regrettably that day is some way off !

cmwoodward Report post Posted June 20, 2014 Is this a serious question? I don't know how you would define a good car for an aspie - or what needs you have in a car. But if a small car is enough for you, and you would like my recommendation, I'd buy a Ford Ka. That's what I drive. It's a great car to drive, a decent 1.3 engines which is quite a size for such a small car, and is reliable and easy to get spare parts for when you need it. That's my recommendation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dm2010 Report post Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Mulling over the options again . . . . I do like the Hyundai Santa Fe . . . . Even more toys and 194 bhp performance. Just as good as the Range Rover Evoke without the garage bills that vary from expensive to ridiculous. I did have an old Range Rover once. It was and still is a fantastic car to drive, providing someone else is paying the bills. Edited August 16, 2014 by dm2010 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
