SLK for a GLA.

The SLK was just supposed to be a weekend set of wheels. I'm commuting into London now and a full tank only got me 4 days in. The GLA will get me 6.

No brainer I guess but it doesn't mean I have to be happy about it.

Small versions of either. I don't get the thinking of anyone spending a hefty sum on a small version of either makers. Little mercs and bmws look so wrong. Unless they are the little sporty things.

Yeah I dont like the smaller "prestige" (if that's the word) cars either

If you want a small car buy a mini or a Suzuki swift or whatever not a BMW 1 or Audi a2

Same chassis and engines, different styling. <ok>

Yeah mate but looks "bigger" if you know what I mean

Although they gave us a gla when ours was being serviced and it was a nice looking car.

Think outs is a 1.6 engine and all which is really strong compared to days gone by and economical too

First 5-door in quite a while as well but with a grandchild on the way gotta start acting my age.

I test drove a basic package but wasn't that impressed. Problem is you keep comparing it with what you've got and you gotta get past that.

So got one with the extras. See how we get along with it.

My old banger sounds perfect for you. (if it was a lot never),. It's a Honda Stream, they never really took of in the UK, but the yanks loved them..

It's actually got 7 seats although down as 5. But the beauty is the engine. The 2L Honda sports engine..Looks a heap, but possibly one of the best engines ever made,Ilove ****ing about with other cars..It looks a heap, but that engine man..

Nearly bought one 10/11 years ago. I'm not averse to imports etc. We ended up buying the toyoot estima or previa as its known in UK. The imports have the 2.2 TD engines whereas the UK models only used to come in a 2.4 petrol


Had one of these too, in this colour but newer, absolute luxury.

I've had loads of cars, but **** this ugly tank i have now is so different.. It looks a heap, but that Honda sports engine just loves being revved to ****.

I want a go in a S2000 now. It'sthe same engine, just much higher tuned, and a lot smaller.
