I've sat in an F-Pace and wasnt particularly impressed with the interior quality, but my friend's just bought a 66-plate Tiguan and it's a real let down if you ask me. I'd want a lot more car for my money. Very average (although the ICE is quite nice).

 

The 14-on X3 and 15-on X5's look good. Not been in one yet but the interior pics look great. You should be able to find a Q5 with the Virtual Cockpit though which might be appealing!

Which Tiguan spec was it? We're going to look at the R line model with which you still make a considerable saving other most other SUV's talked about

Was at porsche yesterday and accordingly to the sales guy who was previously a ' Porsche genius' (what a job title) it isn't possible

Well won't be just a run around it will be our lasses main car doing around 12k miles a year and the one we both go out in at the weekend when we're wanting a little bit of luxury instead of noise and a stiff ride in the zed "lol"

Think the Q5 is looking a little dated but still a very nice car. Porsche rape you on the options but there limited as in if you still want alcantara which is standard with leather but a electrically controlled passenger seat you can't, you have to have all leather and pay for that premium (losing the alcantara you actually want) where as the Merc, Audi etc give you more options to personalise the car

The ford doesn't do anything looks wise for me (looks to American). Granted the Porsche probably is the best car there but I ended up spending 10k on options without trying so nearly up to £60k

As the zed spends most of its time in the garage with my transit being the workhorse it's not so much a second car for me but a first car for the better half.

We're wanting a sort of 'do it all' car so safe, practical, spacious (kid carrying for the future) capable to get about in all weather but still looking stylish etc etc.

So this leads me down the small SUV route. Considering most but at the forefront and favourites are the Merc GLC Coupe , Porsche Macan S and Jaguar F Pace but not ruling out discovery sport, Audi Q5, VW Tiguan, BMW X4

Just wondered if any of you guys owned any of the above said cars and what your thoughts were

Told them I'd swapped out the rear glass, they said it made no odds

When my rear glass had to be replaced the glass wasn't an issue but the seals were, had to wait around 3 weeks for these as there weren't any in the country.

I'm changing my windscreen in a months time as part as a overall on the car as the seals got damaged when removing the roof wrap. Plus when the suns shining it's terrible for little chips in the glass, fortunately a mate of mine works for a windscreen company and can sort it all for me through insurance, So I'll get the OEM glass and seals pre-ordered.

I renewed my insurance a few weeks back Hugh and they confirmed it wouldn't affect my NCB plus they only charge £60, cheapest I've ever had windscreen cover

Unnecessary tyre paranoia is a recurring issue too often on this forum IMO.

 

+ a million

Agreed!!!!!

Anyone bought the black depo ones?

Unfortunately I can't get my zed in the Bodyshop before the meet so she'll be looking a mess, bad times!

Spoiler needed to be sent off to have the carbon fibre redone, it just turned out to be a real b&$ted to get the base off,

I'd be up for this show, it's been a while!!

Yeah looks like oponeo and camskill are roughly the same price for all four tyres within a tenner Will

Anyone found whose doing the best deals on the MPS4S

Was going to say Will, can't you just drop a profile to 35? Thought that would have been a more standised size anyway....

I'm still running original falken 452's that have been on the nismo's for years as I hardly do any miles, was planning on getting the MPSS looks like it'll be the MPS4S now, not that they need changing but not the best handling tyre and fancy a change!! Be good to hear some reviews on here from guys that have bought them

Yeah agree, did say open to offers would take £60. Think at the time that's what they were on eBay for .... I'll alter first post price

Would have loved to have joined you guys but the car won't be ready in time!!

Someone out there must be after one ....

Anyone....

Anyone ....

True, I'm 35mins away

9ish then? Where exactly are we meeting?

There's some cracking roads in the peaks that I know well and no speed cameras (unless mobile) for another time

Either that or the peaks
