Great Drive over the Brecon Beacons

[GransportFan1]

I love that car, looks so "right" in that colour, just shouts out "take me for a thrash"

 

[Andyk]

It does Adam and I did....

 

[GransportFan1]

how long did you own it for ??

 

[Andyk]

A year...then my wife wanted another little one so I said we would as long as I could have a CSL...Job done....The chap selling the CSL private took my frog in px.......

 

[GransportFan1]

Not a bad deal then, perfect family car the CSL, beats any new Mondeo diesel.

 

[Andyk]

And most other things Adam...At least for the sound anyway...

 

[GransportFan1]

And ride comfort, no wait that is not right is it.

No mate, not in an M3.

 

[Andyk]

CSL ride was good......But then I had been used to Exige's and Elise.....

 

[BennyD]

IMO, it's good for a high performance car but a bit firm compared to 'normal' family cars.

 

[Andyk]

The CSL was even more focused than standard so yes was probably frim.....But never bothered me as it's the type of cars I was used to and loved.....PLus the wife had a 5 series for everyday use so we never really used teh CSL for family transport much.....All that carbon fibre trim in the front and back and young children does not mix...

 

[BennyD]

Good effort for giving it a go though Andy. It's the type of car I would like. However, if I was in the market for a saloon I would be looking at an E60 M5 or a QP, and yes, I do know both are flawed!

 

[Andyk]

Both great choices Benny.....It would be my choice as well now if I needed 4 doors........
