My wife loved her bright red Mercedes SLK but I'd been urging her to get rid of it for a while as I didn't find it particularly comfortable but more importantly it was impractical as there are three of us and it was only a two seater.
We had narrowed down her short list to just one car which was an Audi A3 2.0 diesel as they looked nice, had four seats, were very economical and quite nippy. The problem is that decent ones are difficult to come by and having spent a couple of weeks looking at everything available I went to have a look at one that was parked next to a Z4, test drove the Beemer instead and shook hands on the deal.
It's a 3.0 SE Auto with 32,000 miles in Sterling Grey and whilst it doesn't have four seats or is particularly economical, who cares as it's much more fun. We've only had it for ten days and I haven't had much of a look in lately but there's plenty of time yet.
Not having my fair share of driving it isn't as bad as it seems as my own car is an Alpina B10 anyway so I'm not exactly hard done by.
