We've had this thread topic before. In fact, I posted the same car I posted in that thread.
this one's best for me
Pagani Zonda
Because most of us expect the car to do what it's worth and more. Especially considering how far we've advanced today in technology. If it's available, I want it.
How is it possible, that no-one has mentioned Jaguars yet ? I really don't like the interiors of super/hyper cars in general, they are too flash and complicated to my taste. The Ford GT for example is great inside, I like a car to be a nice, and I do mean nice place to be. Not luxurious like Mercedes, not flash and colourful like a Zonda nor pure simplicity like say Rolls Royce.
So therefore Jaguar's XJ and XJR are my choise. (snip)
XJ
Right idea, wrong year/model/version.
Look! Swaths of *REAL WOOD* that actually looks and feels like wood and not wood-pattern plastic! And look! Separate gauges that aren't lifted out of the Taurus or Crown Vic!
As Jeremy Clarkson himself said, the new Jaguar (Forduar?) interiors are just disappointing.
Older Volvos had tons of electrical problems. My friend's mid '90's 850, which he bought used, had seat heaters that eventually malfunctioned. The passenger seat started putting out smoke while his mom was driving and she pulled over and jumped out of the car. It caught on fire and burned to a crisp! There was a recall on 850's because of the seat heaters, but they weren't aware of it. Funny thing is that he now drives another 850 which was his brother's :lol:My first car was a 1990 Volvo 740GLE, and it was one of the most comfortable cars I've ever been in (at least in that price range, the car was extremely comfy, with big seats). But it was not very reliable, my dad was driving it one the first day and it stalled in the middle of the street!! The dealer wouldn't give a refund, but promised they would fix it, which they did. But during our 8 years of ownership, the car had numerous minor problems, like lights would go on by themselves (I'm talking about headlights, not hazard lights on the dashboard), the power windows wouldn't work 100% of the time, and the car would stall once in a while. Other than those problems, the seats were great!! I'm not too tall, but I have long legs, and most Japanese cars won't fit me too well. The reason I'm looking back into a Volvo, despite of numerous problems in the past, is because Scandinavian cars seem to be more comfortable for bigger and taller folks compared to Asian cars. But I seriously don't want to get something that is going to break down on the first day of driving!! So I don't know, I'm still trying to decide which one I should get since it's me that's going to pay this time.........
