    The next car

    Morning All,

    it's coming to the time to replace the Q7

    What to replace it with, these are the cars being considered:

    X5 M50 D (380hp)

    SQ7 (430hp)

    GLE 350 D (270hp) [this is actually by far the cheapest of the three which is a worry - probably already ruled out, but Mercedes don't seem to have a high spec'd oil burner in the line up]

    What does the jury say ?

    Milan.

      we've got a Passat CC in the current Benes fleet but it will disappear in October and we'll go down to being a two car family.

        Just get a hybrid. Diesels are so 1990's and noughties.

            WHy not? You have kids and yet you think its OK to belch out NO with unnecessarily large diesels?
            I'll be going to some form of dual petrol hybrid on my next car or failing that definitely petrol.
            Hard Brexit now!

                  we live out in the sticks SAS, chateau benes has very clean air, so a bit more NO from an engine half the size of a modern tractor or combine isn't going to make much difference

                  and besides, those petrols never have the low revs grunt that modern high performance diesels have, and you have to rev the bollocks out of petrols to get them to do anything and at those high revs it's never a pleasant experience inside the cabin

                  Milan.
