I hadn't even noticed, that is awfully big. Would have been a lot cleaner looking if it wasn't so recessed into the dash

Being a Sunday makes absolutely no difference, I've been and fitted 5 today

I'm thinking they recessed it to help with glare from the sun maybe.

Downgraded the DB9 and S-class into one car....the Panamera. The handling on it is just like the 911 I had, it is a genuine mind **** that I keep reminding myself that the car is bigger than the S-Class yet drives like a 911. How the **** did they do it? 4 Wheel drive is beautiful in this country, never owned a 4wd car before and it's just utter perfection.

I do like them! Which engine?

4.8 V8

There's still room for a few more buttons there.

It's probably only me but I really hate the interior in that generation Panamera. The fit and finish is outstanding but I think it's really ugly. Fantastic car though.

Nice car but how many buttons?

ajf · 20 Mar 2017 at 18:25

I've bought half a car

I'm sure they don't need any introduction but anyone interested in the specifics let me know.
Let the jokes commence....

Porsche. One button for one function. It's quite smart.

Used my car as my wedding car back in November and we only got the photos back recently so I thought I would share a shot:

Scuffing the door like that! jk It's kinda cute.

^ lovely photo that, congrats

We've bought a new (to us) family car. We did have a MK7 Fiesta Zetec S but it was pretty useless when it come to being a family car, ended up selling it for £500 more than we bought it for a year ago, not bad.

Bought this last night (seller's photos):

I think it is fantastic. Infinity MPG, comfy, spacey and respectable.

The cabin on the mk3 Focus is such a comfy place to be, I had a Diesel mk3 as a courtesy car when I had some warranty work done and was surprised at how relaxing it was to drive for a hatchback.

Washed at weekend and took a crap photo whilst walking back to it after filling it up (again). Done about 1200miles now.

Thought it shows how shiny it is despite being white

Really? When I test drove one I found it to be claustrophobic, tight, and the materials of the interior felt worse and cheaper than my 12yr old Corolla. Five dozen buttons and peculiar angles and layout everywhere on the dash was also extremely annoying imo.

The new model Brabus ones are nice, but a bit pricey and very few, if any used yet.*
Mine is a Prime Sport ForTwo with a Premium Plus pack. Also went for the automatic.
898cc Turbo 90hp
6 speed dual clutch transmission - with paddle shift!
Good spec inside with leather, satnav, heated seats, climate control and auto wipers and headlights.
Colour is Lava Orange.

I just tell people I have a rear engined German coupe

* there is actually also a special Brabus edition called the Ultimate 125. 125 examples and 125bhp. Starts at £42000.....

Blackhawk47 · 21 Mar 2017 at 13:06

The Ford fan boys will be in here soon now you've said that Cookeh

Ill not be losing any sleep over it.

I have to say I think the new ones look great and I can imagine they are a hoot to drive
