Couldn't agree more on your choice of car. M BMWs are great. And the new 5 litre V10 E60 M5 looks really good. SMG 7-speed gear box, though - no manual option. Visit Riverside Internet[^] Visit Mike Puddephat Online[^]

My ultimate car? The Skoda Superb[^]. It looks like the Octavia from a distance, but when you get closer, you'll realize just how big it actually is.

And I would like to have timed cabin heating, my neighbour got it in his Toyota Yaris, and I'm really jealous when I come out to a totally iced car in the morning, and his car stands there, totally defrosted, with a low humming sound.

Yep, E60 M5 is awful - I thought the SMG-7 was a sequential gearbox? :~ The M6 (here an ACS evolution[^]) would be my first choice. But even with a M3-E36 would I be very happy :-D

On my travels, I rent quite a few cars (only one at a time!), and I prefer to rent an automatic. Less risk of opening a window when changing gear in these funny countries that drive on the right. And less familiarisation needed. That said, I always *buy* a manual. They're more fun, and I feel a little more "connected". But if I lived in a city, I'd go for an automatic. What was my point again? Iain.

V. wrote: What would your ultimate car look like? I actually like the power and space inside American cars. Right now I'm eyeing the Cadillac Deville (can't afford it of course) After driving that puny Nissan around I'd love to have a powerful engine that responds quickly and heats the car fast.

V. wrote: I would like a Porsche, but off course can't pay it I have a Subaru Imprezza WRX. It out-accelerates most Porsches, has a "boxter" type engine with a low center of gravity and all wheel drive so it zips around corners like it's on rails and it costs a fraction of the price of an equivalent performing Porsche. All you really get with the Porsche these days is the name plate. Performance wise there are far more affordable and higher performing cars avaialble these days than Porsche. The Imprezza meets California emissions standards so it uses very little gas when you don't "floor" it. It has all wheel drive and we have literally driven up the sides of mountains in it. In short it's really the ultimate vehicle for anyone who wants performance, versatility and practicality. We leased it originally but liked it so much that we're buying out the lease and keeping it.
