What is your car ? - Page 13

I have been driving a brand new car for a month now. I contemplated several models (not brands), but in the end went with a very rational decision. However I made some significant upgrades over the old one, making the new car lots of fun to drive.

This is now my ride until 2017. More photos in here.

Thank you. Driving through dealership lots nowadays and seeing only black and white cars convinced me it's time to get some colors into one's life. I didn't even want my previous car to be white, but it just happened to be available. This time I went with a factory order, so getting the right color wasn't an issue.

X1 is a very common sight in Vancouver, however they are most of the time basic models (mine has everything) and white. Haven't seen Valencia Orange more than twice so far, so if you see one, it might well be me!

Nice car, but I would have gone the irrational route... 435i.

I test drove one and it was a sweet car, but my conclusion was that it is badly overpriced, especially for the convertible (80k fully-loaded). It's basicly a 3-series coupe with extra 20k in the price.

Also, convertible should be a two-seater hence no 4-series for me. But it is one of the best looking cars at the moment, I give you that!

bought it on ebay...just drove it back about a month ago....it feels like a grown up's car, that's for sure.

Makes perfect sense and that is a nice Porsche! I have only driven a Boxster and it was sweet ride on the Autobahn. I even got a speeding ticket (those are just 10€ in Germany) during my drive.

I might be looking for a 2-seating roadster next, in 2017.

I should post my car, seeing as I've had it for a while now. It's a Basalt Black 2008 Porsche Cayenne S. I've had it for about a month now and I'm loving it so far!

It came with the original black mirror covers, I'm gonna put those back on.

Not bad for a first car. Mine was a crappy Mazda protege.

thomax · #**254** Posted **Dec 19, 2014, 1:42 AM**

I thought about doing the same and buying something more affordable, but I love driving and I love MINIs so I saved forever to could get one. It was worth it

Lol.. my first car was a 2005 Kia Sedona, acquired in 2012 with 250,000km on it that was literally held together with duct tape. Scrapped it earlier this year, haven't had a car since. Don't miss it all.

FrAnKs · #**256** Posted **Dec 19, 2014, 2:40 AM**

You acquired a car with 250 000km ? GEEZ not nervous at all Lol

Oh what the hell........

I got it new but it's three years old now.

A 2011 BMW 550i X Drive with the M Sport package.

4.0 litre engine with 8 cylinders, twin turbocharged and capable of 400 brake horsepower. It goes like the wind......
