Yup it does, but id like to buy from a local dealer. The one we have that sells peugeot also sells Mercedes and tend to favor the customers of the latter brand.

Hehe..

Im a late bloomer when it comes to cars yes :D

Ive either borrowed my paretnts cars or my gf's.

I decided fairly early on that i wanted to get myself a really nice house by the ocean and that was my priority. So while my friends has had a ton of cars (like normal people :D) I now have the best house and property and NO debt. They have "normal" houses/aparatments and plenty of debt (like normal people :)

To be honest though. My wife, and every other owner I've met have all been nothig less then totally pleased with their  Hyundai.

Got the Santa Fe for my wife a few years ago and the only prob we've had if you wanna call it that is a few weeks ago her "Check engine" light came on. Turned out it was some sort of sensor that was whacked out. But it was still under warrantee and a few hours later she had it back free of charge

Hyundai is a really small brand here, and id like to go with a more familiar one that has better second had value... even if im buying to keep it.

Im sure they are great tho. No doubts about that.

What car is that?  I have started on the path of acclimating myself into buying an electric car by 2008.  That car style is what I would expect an EV to look like, primarily for city driving.  Long distance highway miles are reserved for my GMC sierra extended cab truck, regardless of gas prices.

Of course, I won't own some 25mph neighborhood EV.  Minimum speed requirement are 70+ mph (113+ kph) with 0-60 mph (0-100 kph) of 9 sec.  Mixed city driving requires those specs to be practical.

Malta

I'd skip the Audi and pick either Passat, Avensis or maybe VW Touran.

Then again I wouldn't buy any of those but...
