I am in love with my new car...

[Tabby1963]

I bought her with birthday money and savings and she's wonderful to drive; big, stong, powerful, but gentle too. She's 7, nearly 8 years old but immaculate. I glide to work now and get such a thrill . My DH has not yet had a go but is desperate to and I will let him drive her at the weekend.

I have never felt this much attachment to a car, it's weird. I feel so protective and don't want to park anywhere remotely dodgy in case she gets 'hurt'. Bloody looney. I have told the cats that I will cut their paws of if they dare to sleep on her bonnet...

There must be someone here on mn who gets what I am saying or am I a lost cause, I don't care.

What kind is it?

I get you I have just got a nissan qashqai and it's lovely but I got soaked today because I parked at the other end of the car park nowhere near anybody else so it didn't get scratched.

Wine I considered the Qashqai (plus 2) too, but I don't need the extra seats, just the big boot. I totally get you parking away from anybody else . So far this week I have been getting to work early so I can pick a good spot to park her.

It was eventually a toss up between the X-Trail and Rav4; both scoring very well in all reviews. Chose the X-Trail because it had more boot space and I test drove the Adventurer model, falling head over heels immediately. Still can't believe she's mine . She's nearly 8 years old, but immaculate.

I have managed to duplicate this thread (clever of me, eh?) so here is the link to the other thread if you want to continue talking about cars.
