norman Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 In theory the platform / powertrain is pretty unimportant as its perceived quality & badge kudos which sells 'em Agreed, but it's the platform / powertrain that leaves them @ the roadside waiting for the AA.JB a friend has just bought his gf a second hand SL55AMG to replace her stolen Mini, he says it's mental.

MrHappy Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Agreed, but it's the platform / powertrain that leaves them @ the roadside waiting for the AA. Joint venture means "French Tat" & "German Prestige" coming of the same product line, I understand Mrs Jef was once running a Korean something ? I'd image an Mercedes will rust before it & Evoque will more likely to have warranty claims, however the brand is what counts & often a personality has been engineered into the vehicle rather than it being souless?

james.wilson Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Just to follow up, ended up getting one of these. Good deal on the buying of it, fairly rapid and looks nice.

jb-eye Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Very nice, i would be well pleased. fancy a C5 or a VW Pissat for me next. Audi or BMW doesn't sit right Customers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iralarms Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Volvo's are great cars.. I am looking at the new C70 CC convertible, quality at a price less than Audi's or BMW's! www.iralarms.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alterEGO Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 A mate of mine has the C70 and IMO the design is not a patch on A5. Plus Volvos are for teachers, doctors and OAPs. Thats nice for an estate though James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
