There are other makes of new car available. Not all new cars are the price of a Merc. They obviously have been taken in by badge snobbery and over extended themselves financially.Are you?!
I know people driving new mercs on pretty low salary. They eat pot noodles and live otherwise miserable life. Not for me thanks.

Being German, VW tell everyone they are the best, some fall for it, hook line and sinker, some of us don't. As some may already know, I work at Ford's testing and research facility in the UK, they buy in competitors cars, pull them apart to see how they are made and examine the parts. I've seen several cars, a VW Golf GTD included stripped down and there really isn't anythin gon there to warrant the difference in price tag over a Focus ST TDCi. Interestingly they had to buy two Golf's the first blew the engine within a day of getting it on a dyno so they could verify all the claimed performance for themselves.
Warranty direct the uk's largest warranty provider will disagree with you. In fact no German car even makes the top 20 (out of 37) Audi came last but fourth. Last but one another VAG car Porsche.
it did 15k miles and I lost about £800 on price I paid but I fancied it could be an issue later on so bailed.
No surprise there. Untenable position, even if he wasn't personally aware.
So long as you aren't overly tall needing the seat right back, there is always the new Mustang convertible.
After everything ive said i will probably go with a German model. I do like the BMW 2 series convertible.
I agree the Jap's struggle with styling both inside and out, but they are more reliable.
The previous model was quite big and chunky, the latest one looks sleeker. Although this isn't the convertible in the picture you can get an idea of the size against the Focus. I'd say it is close in size to the latest Mondeo.
Where do you get that statistic from? Other than with the Toyota Prius we've had, reliability never entered my mind when buying new. And the Toyota turned out to be totally unreliable so go figure, first three months they couldn't get the sound system to work, then in Boxing Day it just died as it turned out the main earth had snapped. Then there was the steering problem recall, then there was the no brakes recall, then there was ....
with the Murano as we ordered it untested prior to its launch. Reliability is not a concern, that is what warranty is for and the included recovery service.

Nope reliability never entered my mind with our current selection; does it look good, can we sit and transport in comfort, is it powerful enough and quiet when applying the power were our criteria. Oh, and a discount. I always want a discount, never ever pay list price. Except for once
No Murano like the Venetian glass. It was one of our favourite cars ever. We kept it for five years, then downsized to a Prius for green credentials ahem, but hated it. So we traded the Prius in for our GL AMG aka the anti Prius

Don't be daft. If Merkel had known, the NSA would have known...Had never heard of it. Did you do realise Prius is actually pronounced Pious.
I read this morning, the German government may well have already known about VW and turned a blind eye to what they had done..
Great car in the US, comfy, fun, not a huge amount of room in the rear and a reasonable boot.
Who says they didn'tDon't be daft. If Merkel had known, the NSA would have known...
I wouldn't worry about that any more, most modern cars are plenty good enough at keeping you safe, the last few points are for pedestrians you hit (so my car has an aluminium bonnet and plastic wings) as if it makes that much difference. Most pedestrians that die will have hit their head on the front of the roof (there's no way that'll deform) or the kerb or other similar solid object.
Please don't mention the 'Baby on Board' brigade I'm trying to watch my blood pressure.
Ah but those eye lashes around the head lights are so cute.
Have you noticed the fairy's in question are usually 20st.
