    As great as the Toyota product is , not for me ...I drove 'cruisers for over 5 years 6 days a week round trip of 120kms a day or 800 odd ks a week, be fine if I towed a van or did serious off road or plenty of N.T trips but i don't ..

    Out of those, the Audi. Why not an RS6 if it needs to be bigger?
    Or why not just the S version (ie. S4 or S6)? Plenty of performance without the harsh ride.
    Benz interiors awfully chintzy, for mine. Couldn't live with them.

    The funny thing is, when you needed to move some old furniture a few weeks ago you used some OHOS instead of the Macan.
    Lol! :p

    I don't think the RS6 had been released when I ordered the Macan GTS in December 2020?

    OHOS and the old furniture , met my sister (you know the one home in Brighton with the tower) at the auction house as I thought she had only bought a ruby /diamond baguette ring as she could not fit the furniture in her 997 Cab turbo series 2 ...i was left with the job to cart .

    i have an answer for all your questions !

    Fair enough.

    What about the best wagon option of all - Alpina B3?
    Same size as RS4 but better in every respect (IMO of course).
    Or maybe that wasn't available in Dec 2020 as well?

    I'm happy with the Macan GTS, I like the engine and the performance it will do till I buy another new car in the future ..

    Are you kidding? Most of what pass for young blokes these days don’t even want to put petrol in a car.
    Pathetic.

    It's quite clear that that's all you've done your entire life. Never met more of a snob.

    I taught Troy how to change a tyre many times and how to look after a car but he's too scared to do something without me giving him approval .... my fault, should have been more encouraging
