Apparently I am a little behind the times because I think a BMW does not provide a better overall driving experience than a Kia. Well if that happens to be your opinion you are obviously not some one who loves to drive. Some cars get us from A to B perfectly well, never break down, have a really long warranty and fabulous resale values. If that’s what you are looking for car that’s great, I truly hope you find what you are looking for and are happy with it. Personally for me it’s about walking out of the house, seeing a car and thinking ‘know what, I’m really looking forward to this journey’. The point is that it has nothing to do with long warranties, fancy led lights or how well it scored in some survey that no one cares about. It is to with knowing when you are driving a brilliantly engineered, well put together quality car from a manufacturer that realises the importance of the joy of driving. Behind the times? Most certainly not. Merely an experienced driver who appreciates a car that has been built to give people that moment when they leave the house.
I had 2 BMW´s a 1 series, great drivers car and an X1, not awful to drive but not great either, overall I think my Tucson is a better drive, just. As I have said many times and reflected in surveys, reviews etc, there really is little to choose between manufacturers and when electric comes fully on stream, even less so, with so called mainstream brands coming out on top.
