Another car built for the EU market but using short people as a size guide... I'm the shortest in my family at 6 2 and cars like these are just a contortionists box - so annoying Sad It is pretty though Thumbs Up

Very nice, love the look. Good choice. Showed the wife, but she wanted 4WD so she's liked for the new TT. However, if I have another good year, might target the new hard top DHC version which has to be one of the most gorgeous cars on the market.

A couple of friends of ours have just (she) bought the latest SLK. She loves it, suits her perfectly at 5'10". He on the other hand hates it (and her 90) as at 6'6" or 7" (he's one of those tall people who's not really sure) he can only get in it when the roof is down and then his head is higher that the windscreen.

Another reason that low to the ground is better..... Thumbs Up Monsieur Le Grenadier

Hello

I Had a Mk1 and wife had Mk2.5 over the years, awesome cars and in the French Alps we had a blast...

However I do think the latest one is a little fugly...

Not sure on prices these days but this looked lovely at the Geneva show.

I would think similar money?


You will have fun in that, my trucks in the garage and I'm enjoying my wife's current roller-skate, when the suns out and the roof down its great Smile

Nice - you can look forward to lots of summer fun! (Here's hoping the weather allows you to get the roof down!) I love my Defender but it has recently been joined by a new Golf Gti and I have to say that the Golf is great fun in a totally different way to the Defender. Variety is the spice of life as they say! 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green
