Re: I need help for a new car !
BangoO:
I'm going to test drive a Panamera 4S this saturday, I'll give you some feedback.
How would it behave on snow with 20" snow tyres ?
I met a friend in Austria in his Panamera Turbo with 19'' snow tires and the car had no issues whatsoever to keep up with my X5M in snow or on snowy pavement. Only downside: Ride height. Just make sure that the car has adaptive air suspension, you can raise the car up to 30 kph, which may give you an advantage in deep(er) snow.
Let me guess: Your girlfriend likes the Panamera? 
My wife absolutely loves this car, one reason why I ordered the Turbo S.

Gnil, I thought about it... but I'm too young to drive this
Too young for a Bentley Continental GT Coupe? Are you kidding? Most drivers I saw in Florida in this car were younger people, especially younger women (and pretty good looking too 
) in their 20s and 30s. My wife fell in love with this car after we watched a gorgeous looking young blonde entering one at a restaurant with her friends. Everybody was looking at her and the car.
I only saw an older guy in his 60s or so in a Cabriolet which also had a very weird color (some sort of bright aqua turquoise, very weird looking color for this car).

I thought about options, and one of them is selling the 2 cars and buying only one that can do it all
(for ~80-90k€).The requirements are
1. Powerfull and fun
2. Can drive all year long (including snow)
3. Can go to the supermarket (boot big enough)
4. 4 seaters
5. Not too big
GT-R? 
I know this car isn't appreciated in this forum. But it meets all requirements listed above and is available new for 80-90k.
And, as long as it's used just as a daily driver and not as track day-car, there won't be any transmission/warranty-issues.

Same comment here! My wife loves it and I know some pretty young people driving it! Great car!
Re: I need help for a new car !
Hi guys, I'm back ;-)
So we've tested a Panamera 4S and an RS5.
My girlfriend loved the 4S, but it's really too expensive for us (we revised the budget and the limit seems to be 65-70k€ now), and I find it really too big to drive in the city. Wonderful car though, we both like how it looks (with the 20" Turbo rims), the comfort, the interior, it's very classy.
I liked the RS5, but my girlfriend not so much... We liked the comfort, the interior looks fantastic, the sport exhaust is very very nice, the DSG is good, a bit disapointed by the straight line performance though (I prefer the 997 CS, the accelaration is less linear). What she did not like is that it really is a man's car, she doesn't feel like driving it, and the seats are covering the body too much on the side, she did not know what to do with her arms...
Anyways... the 997 CS is on sell since yesterday, and we might go for the RS5 once it's sold as so far it looks like the best all rounder car for us.
