Hi all!
The boyfriend (23) is looking for a car he can call his own after driving his family's bog-standard leased car for a couple of years. He works at a car manufacturer so the people he wants to "impress" are far more car-mad than me.
So he starts describing he wants something with more power (fair enough, currently a 1.0L petrol), then goes on to suggest he wants it to have character.
His idea of character is something you might purchase in a mid-life crisis in my opinion! He likes the look of a Jaguar XJR (older model so it's affordable) and XK8. Then after me expressing my feelings he goes in a completely different direction and suggests an Impreza.
The other week he was suggesting an Audi A7 leased which seemed more in the right direction to me, although it's a little out of the price range. His taste is definitely saloon/sports if the two even go together, and he used the words posh and sophisticated, which certainly doesn't correlate with the Impreza! (Probably from gaming...)
Any suggestions of what he might like, but will also gain him some respect at his place of work, and also my respect? I wouldn't blink an eye if he fancied a VW Golf, Mercedes A-class, Seat Ibiza or something similar. Perhaps they're just mainstream. Am I just being too judgemental?
Help!
