    Appology accepted.

    I'm more than happy to apologise - when i'm wrong.

    When are you going to apologise to the O/P for your unnecessary rudeness?

    "Its an impractical car because it hasnt got enough seats or room for its size. It doesnt have ability(ie offroad) for a 4x4 style car. Its not quick enough for a coupe style car and will handle like a 4x4( unsurprisingly). The 2k surcharge is additional punnishment for choosing the wrong car.
    Not nearly enough imho."

    A reminder that this site isn't about buying a Ford Fiesta instead of a BMW X6. It's about getting a good deal on the X6, or the Fiesta. Not much point trying to convince anyone that you can go from A-B cheaper than you can in an X6!

    Well said.

    If the O/P can afford to run cars like X6's and M3's then thats their perrogative.

    Sorry Op. What I meant to say is "not nearly enough. Thankyou."

    Are you upset that you wanted to argue with me but just reinforced what I was saying? Thanks for the honestjohn link (the one that says its impractical) and story about how your wife finds it impractical by the way.:j

    I'm pretty sure he didn't say that. You're really not doing yourself any favours trying to defend your prejudices here.

    So we've established why the OP bought this car?

    What I don't understand is why then did they need to drop the brand/model and price into their first post? None of that information had any relevance to the post.

    Could just have easily said "we paid 2k too much, what can we do?".

    Where?

    Impractical is all relative anyway. It's got a bigger boot than a Focus, it's pretty comfortable and plenty of performance.

    Classy. However, none of this has anything to do with the OP's query.

    You dislike the X6 and people who own one, fine. No-one cares, you don't need to justify it to us.
