This car replaced my '89 XR4x4 recently
As much as i'd love a weekend toy, my circumstances dictate one car to commute, one car to carry my family, and that same car to play in.
I knew i wanted a manual car, preferably RWD, and it needed to be big enough to fit everyone into, but still chuckable.
And without a real clue about what make or model to aim for, took this for a spin, and was stunned at how good a drive it was for its age. There's enough power to put a smile on my face (192BHP) great build quality, and good handling-albeit nothing on my old 4B.

BMW@Brands on the 6th Dec looks good too, after its serviced and Alpina style wheels are on.
