I owned a Magna and it was fine until 200000km and it literally fell apart. The only issue you will have with your 380 is your missus won't be able to reverse it becasue seeing out the back is a nightmare. My wife refused to drive the Magna for this reason and ther 380 has a higher boot than the Magna did.

If it passes this small convenience test then I think you're on a winner.

The "driven like it was stolen" comment above is fair but there would also be people who dont bother driving it like that.

Depreciation is our (and everyones) biggest expense, and fuel is not a big issue when kms are so low..
.

When i go interstate and use rentals such as magnas, your usually just putting around, trying to get to customers, no time for driving fun.

totally agree on the depreciation comment, its a massive hit on euros but will be much easier with the 380.

do the 08 models have stability control? would be a good thing to get. probably worth paying a toucj more for if you can find one.
