My "new" car is a 17 plate 420d BMW. Had it for 1 week so far. Traded my old 118d in for it plus a nice wedge of cash. I do about 8k miles a year so this could last me a long time. The increase in hp is certainly noticeable, and the person who originally specced it included some nice options, like a digital dashboard, and went for the m sport version too. The brakes grip like a mutha! Has some novelty options too like an arm which passes you the seat belt (because it's a coupe and you'd have to reach back quite a bit otherwise). I miss having Android Auto which is installed in my old car, but it does have voice control for some features, and I've now figured out how to get it to work with Google Assistant which eases the loss of AA a little. Headlights are brilliant too which couldn't be said of the 118! And I'll never go back to a manual either.
And finally it's a good looking car
