United Kingdom 2009 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Santorini Black

Well, intersting advice, thank you guys Thumbs Up

My wife just can not decide. If someone says car "A" is good she wants car "A" but next day she wants car "B".

I am trying to push her to test drive a BMW 3 series coupe or a Mercedes E Class coupe.

What do you think. /|\

E Class is a good car. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Try a Citroen DS4. They are cracking cars, handling not too bad and decent engines available as well. Got a good image as well Smile

Maybe a mercedes B class instead, the new model is very different from the old one?

It really depends what she will use it for more than anything. FFRR Owner, SSRR engine destroyer!(*2) & Creator of SSRR Smile

Id look at at a Fiat 5oo which seem to be v trendy and popular in town. Then persuade her to get a Arbath one which will result in you taking it for a spin as they are good fun without looking like a complete fag. Either way take control and find her a car she likes but so do you! Wink 2007 Black on Black colour coded TDV8

^^^ If she was previously considering a Mini/BMW/Merc, the 500 will be a big let down in quality. Mrs Bean has one and although it looks cool and is fun to drive (obviously I've only ever driven it at night time to verify this Whistle Laughing ) it is not up the the standard of those listed. Hers in nearly 2 years only now and starting to look a little worn. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Compared to most cars the FFRR is a quality car, though fiats are much farther down the ladder than most things lol Smile

TBH the Citroens of late do take you by surprise the finish and type of materials used and their residuals are a little stronger than they used to be but used ones are very good VFM Smile FFRR Owner, SSRR engine destroyer!(*2) & Creator of SSRR Smile

Not sure how theses will help with the car but I try and help were I can

First a trip to dreams, they had a good memory foam mattress on the leather tv bed, the idea was great, but jumping on the bed the mattress winded me as it was so hard, but after a half hour of Jeremy Kyle the memory foam, remembered me and it was really comfy, which is strange it remembered me as I never met before

On to Bensons for beds, not much here but we tried a electronic bed, each having our own control you could position the wife Side in to numerous position and I could see the benefit in an instant, but the wife said it would be a fad and there was no bedside cabinet for the headache tablets.

Now on to Top onthe range store Argos....
