New Car - Grant - 28-07-2014
So Ell left to her new home early last week.
It was somebody from the '6 forum, but I won't say much more than that.Genuinely sad to see her go, but onwards and upwards. Or some sh1t like that....![[Image: 6D4D4BCD-15B9-43EA-9487-015B8E547943_zpskezi3ndl.jpg]](http://s1117.photobucket.com/user/grant-306/media/6D4D4BCD-15B9-43EA-9487-015B8E547943_zpskezi3ndl.jpg.html)
So last weekend Niall and myself (read; me and my chauffeur) took a trip over to Dartford to view the new candidate. After a test drive and thorough going over, a deposit was left and then mid week it was picked up.
What with the 'what car' thread. Lets see who can guess what this is?

Looks comfy whatever it is!

RE: New Car - Stevo-trendy - 28-07-2014
Volvo of some sought ?
RE: New Car - Niall - 28-07-2014
Oh, oh i know! :p
RE: New Car - Toms306 - 28-07-2014
Thinking about it, if Niall approves its probably a Saab.

Nah its not. Not as quick as a Saab
Still just as if not more comfortable though!

Liam, considering I had a conversation with you about it. Don't cheat :p

Not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it. So comfortable!
RE: New Car - cully - 29-07-2014

No. Wrong car mate
RE: New Car - 1616six - 29-07-2014
Nice, V6? Sound nice but thirsty & my 320d is quicker
RE: New Car - Toms306 - 29-07-2014
V6 on a Y reg? Think of the tax!
Does look nice though!
RE: New Car - jammapic - 29-07-2014
Absolutely love it. Wrong engine, should be a 4.2 supercharged.... but I am biased towards anything supercharged and Jaguar!
Good purchase.
RE: New Car - Eeyore - 29-07-2014
gaaaayyyyy

A-men brother.
RE: New Car - DazzaHDI - 29-07-2014
Correct me if I'm wrong, 3.0 V6?
Nice car but I did prefer your 306!
RE: New Car - Grant - 29-07-2014
It's the S Type 'sport'. So the 3.0 v6.
Not quite a v8 but packed with all the toys and very nice to drive. Not the Mondeo chassis like the x-type either.
The 306 was great fun, and I am sad to see it go. This car does a good job of easing the pain though

Decent, is it auto or manual?
RE: New Car - ADV_93 - 29-07-2014
The X-type is the Mondeo and they are hideous cars.
Never been in an S-type though!
RE: New Car - Grant - 29-07-2014
It's an auto box. The manuals in this engine are hard to come by. They are out there, but few and far between. Surprisingly it's not too shabby for a 12 year old auto box. Fairly responsive and not too much hesitation between changes.
RE: New Car - Midnightclub - 29-07-2014
Are these RWD or FWD?
RE: New Car - jammapic - 29-07-2014
Rear wheel drive...
They use a ZF 6 speed box. I hate to tell you Grant, they are PRONE to failure - so keep an eye on it. They claim sealed for life, but if I were you I would 100% flush the gear oil.
Luckily, if it does break they are cheap and easy to swap over.

RE: New Car - lolsteve - 29-07-2014
Is that a rover 75
Interesting purchase though man, really didn't expect that
RE: New Car - Poodle - 30-07-2014
Blimey, never seen someone's balls shrivel that fast before.
Lolz, sorry man, looks.... jag... like, which is... good?

FFFUUUUU
It is good. Comfortable and quiet. Everything the 306 wasn't
Took it to devon and back at the weekend, saw an average on 38mpg. This included sitting static on the m25, and the m5 for a combined total of about 2 hours in traffic. Im quite impressed TBH.
RE: New Car - THE_Liam - 30-07-2014
That does sound excellent, I wouldn't get that from the 1.8 manual Merc on the same kind of drive, despite probably half the power!
RE: New Car - Grant - 30-07-2014
I suppose to be fair, that was the trip computer, so take ~10% off of that, still 35ish MPG isn't shabby at all!
