Where's my picture of Rab C. Nesbitt? He's my hero, but when you naturally look quite like a younger fitter version of George Clooney, it's almost impossible to get that look right. Still, crosses to bear and all that I suppose. 😎

My wife actually quite fancies a Dacia Duster. Who am I to argue? Actually, one one the list of cunning plans we've not entirely rejected, is for me to have a Duster van for work and for her to have a Duster car for family use. The savings in personal tax I'd enjoy by having a van would pay off a new Duster for her in relatively short order. But then again, I'd make the same savings if I had an X Class...Did I mention one of those before? 😉

Would certainly suit the builder's boots.
Be warned, though: other drivers may choose to save time by taking an instant dislike to you. Especially if you have a black one.

And the local chiropractor, come to think of it.

Then you can have gold fillings to replace the lead ones (which have obviously addled your brain) which will get knocked out.

Premium pick up dear boy, premium. 😉 About as 'premium' as the 'premium' instant coffee I bought this morning, then. (Waitrose had reduced it to 99p.) And similarly, best reserved for tradespeople.

I'm not so worried about the being disliked by other drivers thing, if that's the reaction it would get then, so be it. Their problem.
I am though, more concerned that it'd be a royal pain in multi storey and other city centre car parks etc which I do use a lot. Even the E class can be a tight fit in some of the older ones with bays designed to accommodate Anglias. Otherwise, it'd make quite a lot of sense for me, especially if I got one of those hard top backs on it. The X class, and indeed the new Navarra, on which it is loosely based, have SUV suspension so they allegedly don't bounce around as much as other maker's models. Top models come with a high toy factor, sat nav, auto box, reversing cameras, climate, Bluetooth and even a sunroof if you want. It could just be the thing for me if parking isn't going to be an issue.

...just some humdrum far-eastern thing with a bit of added bling, a new label, and a higher price aimed at the bourgeoisie.......

SUV suspension? Doesn't bounce? Tell me, have you ever visited the planet "Earth"?

Yep, about 2000 years ago I think it was. It didn't go entirely well that time either...😉

....unlikely. It was an X-Class donkey, so it didn't bounce.....
