convertable.
Hard top one, but is it even worth doing in the UK, or a novelty I'll never really use.

Do like the 4 Series and the convertible is a good looking car. I will never own an electric car, all too much pfaff, just in the process of sorting a newish diesel for the glw, Audi Q2.Quote:

Tesla drivers are THE worst (sorry, Ears if you're lurking). They clearly rely on the car to do everything for them and have no road awareness, sit in the outside land of the MWay and steadfastly refuse to move over, even if the other lanes are empty.Quote:

I had a Karoq as a courtesy car the other month.Quote:

told them when I returned it to the dealership and they said "we know, its a software error" - how the **** do you release a brand new car into the wild with errors on it?
I think the apps - including the emergency call feature - all work on 3G networks - which are being switched off during 2025. ****ing useless cnuts.
