Of ALL the cars you'd have a cooking 5 series? You must really like them

Because it's not a free car? You've got to buy and run it yourself. Surprised how many bonkers suggestions there are really, why don't these people all drive AMG Mercs currently if they could happily run one for the next 10 years?

Say funds aren't an issue though. You simply need one car to suit your lifestyle.

Run an out of warranty RR for that long? You'd have to be totally mental

timmeh · 2 Jul 2018 at 19:13

Meh, Shivy beat me to it

ZG002 · 2 Jul 2018 at 19:17

Funds no issue it would be something silly like a p1 just because.

In real life it would have to be a 5 series for me also, always preferred them to Mercs and Audi’s.

Not much of a concern really if funds is taken out of the equation. Besides you can always extend the warranty.

If money is no issue, an RS6 avant.

if it's all expenses paid and all i have to drive/fill it with fuel then standard supercar choice

if it's a free car, but i have to pay all costs (fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance) then probably a nicely specced freelander 2

if i have to pay for it all then screw the question, i ain't keeping any car for 10 years, well, not if it's my sole car.

Money no object, McLaren Senna.

Assuming you had deep enough pockets to run it for 10 years, I reckon you could sell the car in 10 years time and get those costs back with bells on.

A new honda jazz.

F12 TDF or 812 Superfast. 7 years free servicing and I have very little need for a practical car, barely do 4000 miles a year so would be ideal.

JRS · 2 Jul 2018 at 22:14

I'd buy one of these - https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C978736. Reliable, not hugely expensive to maintain, enough power to stay out of its own way, spacious without being vast, and rare without wildly standing out.

You never said money wasn't an issue in the OP, assuming funds are no issue in purchase or running costs then obviously I'd take the M5

shadow_boxer · 2 Jul 2018 at 23:00

Well 10 years ago I bought an E46 and next year will be looking to replace it (minimum of 5 years ownership barring drastic change of circumstances).

Money no object for me would be E63s estate (great all rounder).

Actually looking at 335i, S4, Golf R, Cupra estate etc

RSR · 2 Jul 2018 at 23:12

My vote would be for a Panamera Sport Turismo Turbo S E-Hybrid or GT3 RS (991.2)

HoneyBadger · 2 Jul 2018 at 23:15

Range Rover Sport SVR.

Edit: 2018 Ford F150 Hennessey VelociRaptor 6X6
