OP why do you care what your neighbours think?
If YOU want your "new" car to be smarter, how about seeing if you could have the car tidied up?
We sold our "luxury" car at the beginning of this year and replaced it with a 9 year old Renault Scenic - thought nothing of it. The neighbours on the other hand... one of their children asked why we sold the posh motor and where was my mini? Some people just love to speculate behind closed doors, don't they?!
My aunt and uncle are extremely wealthy and drive around in a 20 year old BMW. My friend's dad was chairman of an international bank and drove an old golf.
PS lucky you, being given a car - now that's MSE!0
