It blends it with the millions of other Camrys on the road today. Easy for going incognito!
Love this car! Been lucky enough to be a passenger in one a few years back. What a thrill!
I'm looking at a Golf R as my next set.
BMWs have straight 6 engines, not V6. That's what makes them special!!!
I hate how I have to mash a button every time I get in the car. So stupid. Tears away at the experience. I want to drive the car like it was meant to be driven, so sell it how it's meant to be driven.
I had two RX8s over 6 years. Only issue I ever had was a failed catalyst replaced under warranty. They do use oil, but only around 1 litre every 2000 miles. Brilliant cars, especially that one which was the Prodrive limited edition PZ and is the best handling car I've ever owned.
After that I had an Impreza STI 330S that destroyed its own engine at only 20k on the clock and use a lot more oil as well, and now the Evo, which is fantastic bar brake discs made of chocolate. I'm about to get my third replacement set in under a year!!! And I don't even drive them hard (maybe I should?!). The Evo spends most of its time tootling along an A road to work at 50mph in Drive and Normal mode (it's a flappy paddle FQ330 SST).
I tried the Golf R and it's a much more grown up car than the Evo or Scoob, but I couldn't help wishing they'd put it up to 300bhp. It's not much faster than a GTi Edition 30. Good value second hand though. Can't believe there were new cars pushing £40k at dealers around launch though. Before that lot I had 10 years of Honda Type Rs and VTIs, and one Alfa 33 P4 that lasted 2 months and managed to destroy a rear diff and fuel system in that short time.
Very, very tempted to look at 2-3 year old Jag XFRs next, or a slightly younger Lexus IS-F. Both are floating around the price you have to pay for a new Golf GTi these days!!!
A local dealer is selling this DB9 and it's taking all my common sense not to make myself bankrupt to own it...

With you on that. I have to go through a ridiculous buttom pressing ritual on mine. Switch off automatic front lighting, switch off stability control (which bogs it down everytime I pull out a junction if I don't) and select Sport mode. Not as bad as the Impreza, which had 7 possible centre diff settings (from a bit of understeer up to mimicking an anvil nailed to the front) and 3 engine maps as well as 3 traction control modes. Just give me a button that changes from "Relaxed Cruising" to "Driving Like Your Pants Are On Fire" and back.
Exactly. And once I push it, it stays like that for days, weeks, years until I push the button again. I shouldn't have to do it everytime. If I hit sport, it stays in sport forever unless I say otherwise. !!!
The car isn't very sporty at all, except for the transmission and the tires. The steering isn't bad either, it has nice weight, but the suspension could be substituted for marshmallows.
