    Hmm...While it is quite a bit of a sporting car, I don't like the style too much. Got any large and curvy sedans for me? I was looking at a 2007 Kia Amanti. Something like that. I already own a 2003 Lincoln Continental.

    2008 Ford Focus. It will get you anywhere, little service problems, and the car will not stand out. It is just a normal, practical car. Well, if you don't live in America, it won't stand out as much.

    Very sorry sir. Here's another suggestion. Old, dusty headlights, and perfect for driving in the wrong lane half on the shoulder at 25 on a freeeway.

    A Lexus LS without air springs. Prices for good ones start at $2500 for early 90s models.

    We own a 2011 model. It's my Dad's car who isn't a car guy. I notice the engine is very buzzy (no, not saying it's fast) but as you said, little service problems and no issues with reliability,

    Alternatively, you could buy a Merc S-Class, or, even better, a GL-Class, and it would probably be more comfortable, but prepare a really large repair budget.

    And if you can't afford the Lexus, buy a '91-'96 Cadillac Fleetwood with no air suspension.

    If your budget is even lower, get a Ford Crown Victoria.

    Now that's a car! If only it wasn't a one-off.

    Unfortunately, it can explode by itself.
    Theoretically, that only activates if you are driving in the wrong lane, but with British electrics...

    That's a completely bloody different car. Different tranny, different platform, different driven wheels, different interior, different suspension, different electrics.

    Also, why are there 6 buttons for positive responses, but none for negative?
    I'm feeling like the guy who found diamonds in the desert?

    It's not even a good young man's car, it's not a good any man's car.

    I just like it because it's so tiny. I like microcars too, like the Peel P50, or the Nash Metropolitan.
