The cars and bikes thread!

it's not a car, and it's certainly not a BMW.

Weeeeellll...

Nissan Qashqai.

I don't expect you to follow this suggestion, but they're economical, refined and very comfortable.

I'd never given them a second thought, but my nephew had one as a hire car and it was brilliant. You have to avoid the 19" wheels, apparently.

Way bigger than my missus wants.

My sympathies, then. My wife would no sooner drive my C220 than an Inter-City train.

Which is why we have to have two cars - her 'shopper' and my 'proper'. But actually, it would annoy me to readjust the seats and mirrors.

Where's your job, by the way? Fifty miles is a bloody long way - that would take you into London. I wouldn't fancy that every day.

A-Class Mercedes? The fuel needle never seems to move on those when I have a loan car. Quite civilised things.

Leatherhead. Its exactly a 100 mile round trip, which will take me 55 minutes. Current trip to Brighton takes 30 minutes and is horrible - 30mph the whole way. Then I have to pay £800 a yes parking and walk 5 minutes to the office. New gig is door to door. May be able to work from home after I'm embedded.

I think I want the i3! And if not any of my original 3 options are preferable to an a class. To a non Mercedes fanboy, that is

[tribe125]

Ha! I recommended a Nissan first.

An i3 would be fine.

[tribe125]

Will you be able to plug it in at work? I read that the real-life range is around 124 miles. A bit tight if you need to drive anywhere once at work.

Or would you have one with a range extender motor?

Can the i3 even make it 100 miles without a charge?
