Jesus Christ that thing is like a boat.This beautiful (all the way from the year) 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis. Such a sweet ride:
And a 2014 Mustang GT.
It has the steer by wire technology? I know that Infiniti has switched to that in some of their coupes. I can't imagine it feeling better than the BMW in term of steering feel because of that.I had a BMW i3, but now am driving a 2017 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport (400 hp). I love it.
For some reason I read that as the 3 series lol. The infiniti is definitely an upgrade in every regard.
Are you sure it wasn't an older basic trim XF? The newer model XF's all have heated seats as standard (UK and US). Even the older S and R-Sport variants had it as standard too. Mine has heated rear seats too.

All the rotating vents and the gear dial popping out and lighting up etc are unnecessary for sure, but people tend to be impressed when they see it, so I guess it all adds a bit of fanfare lol. I quite like the novelty aspect, and thankfully nothing has gone wrong yet.
Regarding the media/nav system, I agree the standard system is rather small, overly laggy and generally quite pants, but the upgraded 10.2" Pro system is decent and overall pretty slick and nifty. You get the odd hitch up or lag on startup now and again, but it generally works swiftly and is mostly very responsive, especially the Sat Nav map with pinch to zoom, move, swipe etc. The Pro Infotainment package also comes with an upgraded surround sound system and internal hard drive as well, so it's well worth the upgrade imo. I still like BMW's latest infotainment systems the best though. I just find it the quickest and most intuitive, but only when using the iDrive jog dial.
Here's what my interior looks like.
Looks cool at night though, and I do like the 3 segment display.
Ah, gotcha.
Got the same awesome ride in Gray. I love to drive it while blastin' some hip-hop. Sucks that I scratched the left side mirror because I tried to go in a narrow alley while so damn sleepy.
911 Carrera S:
Prior to the ATS, I had a Malibu with a sunroof, and I had issues with it not draining properly. I was already indifferent to them as a feature, but that in particularly made me want to avoid them. Or at least, not pay extra for them.
When one has an expensive car, they are maybe more likely to be happy telling people they have said car.
They're currently looking to replace it, and a likely option in the coming months is the 2018 Kia Stinger:
Nice. Really like Skoda's MK III designs (Fabia III, Octavia III, Superb III) but i hate that new Hitler mustache for the sensors. Looking for an Octavia RS (station wagon) as my next car.I'm not on the scale of some people here, but I'm lucky, I have a company car allowance of £31k. The only rules are no 4x4 (fuel use), no Italian (perceived reliability issues) and bizarrely, no Japanese which is a bit odd (old boy racism probably).
When I buy and run my own car, they're a lot older, cheaper and more modest!
A month or so to go, getting antsy now (just like this one it'll be);
This got me intriqued as this car looks nothing like a Mazda 626 that I know from that time period.A 2000 mazda 626: (not my pic)
Thats ok, still, I was under the impression that most people here dont have so much money to afford that expensive cars. Didnt knew about that tax thing.
The forum as a whole has quite a wide range of people on it earning all sorts of different incomes doing a wide range of jobs.
