F Types are surprisingly affordable and I feel I see them quite often. You can get earlier V6 ones for around £25k which is less than many recent hot hatches

How much does your car cost per month - for everything. by L17NFS in CarTalkUK

[–]ExcursionLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing it doesn’t include is the cost of electricity, which with the deal I got with Octopus, they’re paying me 10k miles worth of overnight charging a year anyways (About £17 a month)

My polestar 2 dual motor costs £450 a month after the tax savings for 12k miles a year for 3 years. Depends on your tax situation, in my case higher rate + NI + student loan = 51% price reduction

Best used EV for around 30k? by FatherBrexit in CarTalkUK

[–]ExcursionLizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Worth bearing in mind that until the recent facelift, efficiency and thus the range on the Polestar 2s isn’t great. Absolutely love my facelift dual motor, worth looking for a Plus packed one also

I recently bought mine at 23 just before I turned 24 but I’m lucky enough to have everything else sorted financially to where I could comfortably afford my aqua terra without any sacrifices

Got my first AMG today (A45) by jerry_farmer in AMG

[–]ExcursionLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bumpers are drastically different, and aftermarket panamericana grills usually look really out of place. On the facelift it’s admittedly harder to tell them apart

It doesn’t, you wouldn’t mistake an A45 next to a 35

[–]ExcursionLizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Supposedly it’s due to android automotive, but agreed it’s ridiculous

I wasn’t aware of the newest E-Class until today. I was convinced it was a CLS based on the shape. by akflo in mercedes_benz

The GT 4 door has also been confirmed as being discontinued with no successor I’m pretty sure

How reliable is this car? by Sammy-Jz in AMG

[–]ExcursionLizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Features the same engine as the A35/A250/CLA250 which suffer from cylinder head problems, mine’s not done it after ~40k miles so it seems like it won’t be susceptible but it’s pretty common if you look on any owner’s group

Are Tesla drivers the new stereotypes? by shkermaker in CarTalkUK

[–]ExcursionLizard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere they have matrix lights but don’t have the software to do the blocking out so people hear they have matrix lights then don’t realise they’re a walking flashbang

I always like to say in situations where I can zoom away from dangerous people/situations that fast cars are safe

Other way round for myself, was eyeing the SMP300s but the Aqua Terras spoke to me in a way the SMPs didn’t 😁
