First ever Rocco for private sale?

[Bain]

Well I dropped by a dealer on the weekend for my wife to see it for the first time and she hates it, does not like the cup holders. She has a Corolla and the cup holders pop out high up on the dash and are apparently better
And even though she is only 157cm she thinks it is hard to get into because the seat is too low.

Damn cup holders! hahaha

Its amazing what a females perspective of a decent car is.

I couldnt buy the following because my partner didnt like them for various reasons: Anything BMW, Mercedes, Porsche.

I could buy a WRX STi, Audi TT-S, Golf R and the Scirocco R

Then he would be a pussy too...they all need to take a dose of concrete and harden up..........

Hey Andy, going by your Sig, I'm assuming tomorrow is going to be a rather awesome day, yes?

Yep.... Valentines Day for most... Scirocco Day for me...

I'm getting rid of the Bimmer in part because the wife won't drive it. She won't have a bar of a Porsche either. Mercedes I could getvaway with as long as it was a C class.

Seat too low? Surely VW have a booster seat option.

Cup holders- weirdly I agree with this. I can't say I've used a upholder anytime in the last 10 years but I think they should be hidden. Just like a Corolla.

I just saw this and had to comment, as I am a female and this is my perspective of the marque's your partner said no to:

BMW - It would most likely have to be a 3 series, as the current 1 series doesn't have any decent engines (prior to the 125i being released). I dislike 3 series with a passion as it's just "meh!"

Mercedes - Only when I either a) retire or b) give up the will to live. Most likely it would have to be a combination of the 2 before I put down my own money for a Mercedes.

Porsche - Not a Boxter, not ever a Boxter. So we're talking Cayman or 911. I would prefer to keep all my organs for the time being. So... not yet.

I don't see any issue in her rationale here

The 3 might look "meh" - it's all about personal taste - but drive it. You'll like it. A lot. Take a 335i for a good thrash and trust me, you'll come away grinning from ear to ear. "Meh" will not be on your mind.

Mercedes - Only when I either a) retire or b) give up the will to live. Most likely it would have to be a combination of the 2 before I put down my own money for a Mercedes.

ROFL! Couldn't agree more - with the possible exception of a C63 AMG. Any retiree who chooses to put down his or her hard-earned for one of those gets a thumbs-up from me!

You wouldn't take a a C36 AMG Black given the choice?

I took the 335 for a spin. It was very nice, don't get me wrong. I just think if I was spending that kind of money, and could stretch a little more, I'd get an M3 instead.

Valid point. Yes, I would take a C63 AMG (Black Edition or not). Though, that is laying down some serious cash, and would mean I would have to cut back on my discretionary handbag spending

I have heard that children are quite a saleable commodity at times... they are also replaceable unlike internal organs...
