I like the XC60 a lot. Had an S60 which was the nicest car I've ever driven. Talking of Scandi, aren't there rumours of a Saab revival? I still dream of owning a 9-3 convertible.
I used to have 9-3, brilliant engine, fab turbo and superb in a straight line. Not so much going round bends. Not the most reliable electronically though. Comfy, good motorway cruiser But a complete break from the norm - would love them to come back |

The 9-3s were just a Vauxhall Vectra with a different shell. |

It is what they were based on admittedly but SAAB did a lot of changes to the GM chassis before they became a 9-3 |

Time to renew the company car. Although company car tax accelerator is putting me off a bit, I'm thinking of getting a new Merecedes c class, anyone driven one. Seem to comes with loads of stuff as standard and look really nice. Considering the amg version, would appreciate any tef'ers previous Mercedes experience.

None of the bolts or nuts throughout the car are the same size as their equivalent on the Vectra. You know a holiday's got boring when you and a mate find that one out. |

Really? Disappointing. Not much is taking my fancy and I do like a decent interior. I'll have to get down to a mercedes garage. |

My boss has a C-class and I'd agree the trim isn't anything spectacular.

Current hot hatch is a Civic Type R. Have yet to drive a better car in its price range.
