I now have a Porsche Cayenne and my wife drives the Volvo. I have pushed the boat out a lot perhaps too much but the residuals are strong. This might be my pinnacle in fact it probably is as I'm happy to go fully electric in a few years when it makes sense. Useful heads up on the local Audi dealer.

Cayenne is nice - ordered a Macan GTS before the Audi but decided that strong residuals still meant the £ note loss was bigger than the Audi - which had more space and more kit and lower profile for the days when I went to an office by car. Farnborough were good at test drives but no good at deals - wondered why we wouldn’t buy from them when we could buy elsewhere for thousands less... Agreed that BMW list prices are pointless, but having had a few over the years they just seem to fit what suits me - and the still do a 3 series with a 6 cylinder petrol when the other firms seem to have binned them off. All credit to them for that... |

It's your money, of course. I just hope, for your sake, that the Subaru dealer can match your level of expectations. |

(btw they were brilliant, couldn't recommend them highly enough. But it was a 2 week wait which I think is entirely reasonable, but obviously some think that is too long....).

Yes, I liked the XC90 very much. With the current national situation and a strict two week lockdown again, starting tomorrow, letting it go was timely and the right thing to do. We’ve easily coped with one car less and have no intension of replacing the Volvo until March next year at the earliest. I’m already window shopping of course and the front runner at the moment is the Tesla model Y. Will have to wait until the German factory gets going before its launched here I suppose. No hurry and many a slip twixt cup and lip could happen in the meantime.

Apparently, the Model 3s coming out of China are of a higher build quality than those from Fremont.

Problem with the Tesla is if you want to tow anything it's a non starter.

The Model Y can tow 1.6 tonnes with Tesla's dealer-fitted tow bar.
