Would your choices not have reliability issues?

How about:

S-Max
MX-5
Proper campervan with garage section for bikes

Mmm Autodelta....

Discovery 4
Audi RS6 Avant
Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Volvo XC90

@nick1962: You might have to travel to Tatooine and cut a deal with some Jawas for one of those!

If money wasn't a limiting factor:
1) RR Sport
2) BMW M5 Touring
3) Aston DB7

Now back to down to Earth realistically it will be a 330d or 335d Touring one size fits all this time next year.

Does most of it - work vehicle, bike carrier, top end family motor with all the toys, performs like a 'warm' hatch. Don't get me wrong, I'd have three specific sorted motors given half the chance, but this one don't do bad...

top end family motor

Is that really your idea of 'top end'?

I despair.

Volvo XC70 D5
Aston Martin Vantage
Volkswagen T4 camper conversion

Ok, middling then Flashy. Granted a Merc, Porsche, or Bentley it ain't - not a lot it wants for in gadgets and comfort though.

Real world 1 large estate or saloon with a towbar

Fantasy world add a 911 Carrera 2.

If that was a blue light on top, then I'd be aroused. Orange though just doesn't do it for me.

Mine would be:

Audi RS6 for all the family stuff
Toyota 2000GT for some good old-fashioned fun
VW T5 Sportline day van (long wheelbase) for family/biking trips requiring space over speed and other lugging duties.

Maserati Quattroporte for posh outings and driving down to the yacht in Biarritz, that kind of thing.
One of them estate BMW M5s for bike/kids/dogs/general tootling about.
Caterham R600 for weekend hoons.

Back in the real world, I think we do fine with the Jeep and the Batmobile.

STR, have you done any real world mpg tests on the navara ?

Working towards it now
VW California for general camping and bike lugging
993 Turbo 4 or 997 Carrera 4s for some fun
Subaru outback for kid transportation

Defender 90 for hacking around the valley in

Delta Integrale for pure fun

A6 2.7 quattro

Prius for general use
Nice VW van for towing and holiday usage
VW Scirocco 170 TDI for when it's just me.

Volvo V70 for me.
Disco4 for family / tow car.
Escort Mk2 RS2000 for being a bloke.

In an ideal world?

But in the real world, I'll stick with the Doblo.
Nearly as practical as the 'mog.
Nearly as much fun as the Bristol.
Nearly as [s]ugly[/s] individual as the DS. 😀

Bowler EXR-S
Mercedes e63 AMG estate

performs like a 'warm' hatch

If your definition of warm is a 1990s 1.6L Escort, then perhaps 🙄

If your definition of warm is a 1990s 1.6L Escort, then perhaps

I was thinking much the same 🙂

Well, it has 190bhp and more importantly something ridiculous like 440nm of torque. Obviously it's heavy so takes some shifting off the line, but goes ok. Anyway it's not all about that, it's always going to have its haters. For me, it's just about the most practical all round vehicle I could get with a lot of comforts too. Also great for towing my caravan (without getting stuck anywhere). Great on muddy work sites too.

B.A.Nana - ignoring the computer (which lies). If I hoof it - 28mpg, steady - 34mpg, average -30/31mpg.

2) Arial Atom for utter hooliganism.
3) Landrover Defender Ambulance for camping and tackling the forthcoming revolution.

Assuming the wife can keep her car and the 3 [b]new[/b] ones would be for me. Also assuming that money really is no issue, I would have the following.

1. Fully loaded Disco for bike stuff and off road fun.
2. BMW M5 Touring for family stuff.
3. Probably a Ferrari FF but maybe a McLaren MP4-12C for fun.

I'm going to be cheeky and add a winterised Renault Clio to leave at my chalet in the Alps.

Kia Picanto for runaround
Hyundai i30 estate for bike duties
