:cloud9: I saw most of that. Very nice thank you.
I was incredibly impressed with the easiness of renting a car in the states. And the very relaxed take whatever car you want the keys are in the windscreen approach.
I ended up with a Hyundai Sonata not a car I would have picked immediately but I was half away. Piece of piss to drive over there.
I really liked the car.
I drove down to San Diego one day and back. around LA a lot and up the Pacific coast highway.
It was so nice to drive with lots of space and a parts of open road :cloud9: was actually fun to drive.
On the flip side taking 3 hours to get from Malibu to the middle of LA during rush hour not so fun.
I want a big long car saloon style car now.
It was so nice to have that style of car. Plenty of power all the stuff I would need. huge console to store all my *******s
open the boot and fuel cap cover from inside :cloud9:
Their 'gas' station are pandemonium though. they seem to enter from any side cars all over the place.
What's your view on electric cars? I was thinking about which won I would get if I were to change now (I'm not intending to) but there are no good wons as far as I can make out.
Perhaps a BMW I8 is the best bet but I'd only do that on a PCP because who knows what happens if the battery packs go pop.
Hopefully there will be some better wons in a couple of years.
It is not faster. In the real world, driven properly, it is far less fast. It is more economical over long distances, but unless you drive in excess of 15,000 miles a year, this will be offset by the higher maintenance and purchase costs.
And torque is good for pulling tree stumps out of the ground. Do you use your car to pull up many tree stumps?
I am unsure how it is underpowered as you say as after applying the accelerator it goes up the necessary speed depending on the road which I am travelling.
In this respect it has all the power I need.
Are you perhaps a F1 driver, if so I apologise for the confusion.
I will have to disagree, a slight depression of the throttle puts it into it's peak power band (1500 - 3500 rpm) and it kicks you back into your seat like there is no tomorrow.
And when I'm cruising at 80 units of speed and put my foot down, I can be doing 100 units of speed in about 1.5 seconds. Impressive machine.
We have been here before, we both see cars for very different things.
You drive them for fun, enjoyment also. I will bet you own driving gloves. :hehe:
For me it is purely a functional item, for ferrying family around, a large boot for ball bags and the so called big shop on those occasions I am roped into that. Mainly ball bags all the same.
And no, I am not a ball bag. You are.
