Hi Nick, I do about 22 round trip to work so I'll be doing 5-6k/year just for work and then whatever else I spend my weekends doing. Until now I have always ran 2 cars, at present I have a TT mk1 225 (which I don't want to part with) and a rover 75 diesel manual gbox(no DPF). Thinking of moving the rover on and replacing it with something bigger. The TT would be best for the poor road conditions with the 4 x 4. Something else could then be rear wheel drive for the drier/warmer conditions. The rover has been used for towing a 1350kg caravan. - (the bane of everybody else's lives on the road lol) What else would you suggest as an alternative to the lexus, better reliability being the primary decider! Thanks

I appreciate that this may not be the usual post you get on here but as a lot of you will be in the trade I suppose I am posting to see if I can pick your brains/ seek your opinions; I previously had a Jag x350 3.0 petrol. I am considering buying a Lexus LS460. Aside from the horrific fuel consumption what are the other reasons not to buy one? If you think I shouldn't get one what would you buy to own in the region of £8k ? Has to be a saloon or estate of some sort Would you avoid diesels and autos? - I've had bad experiences with autos in the past personally. I guess something that will sell well in the future is good too As with any car I'd want it to be reliable. Thanks for any ideas/thoughts
