Of course, you have to define 'fun' carefully to make that last statement.

Nashton
I imagine he means something you can throw around in a corner and hang by the edge of your seat.

Lloyd E Parsons
That's one way to describe some fun for sure. I wouldn't find it all that much fun these days.

I find the Verano to be lots of fun to drive. Yeah, I wouldn't want to road rally or go on a course with it, but still fun, but comfortable, quiet fun.

Nashton
Really, Lloyd. if you find stepping on a gas pedal and going forward fun, there is really nothing more to say.

Or you driving your big ass station wagon around and trying to pass it off as some sort of performance vehicle, since that leaves you out in the rain so to speak.

Ouch. That must've hurt.

Nashton
Given that this is coming from an individual who can't afford to buy anything close to what I own and also given the fact that he can utter the words "performance" and "verano" in the same sentence, the hurt is all his ;)

His claim was the cost was not as much of an issue as Q7 sized solution to his transportation problem being an overkill.

As for performance, unless you or he drives one, you'll never know.

I probably would never know how Q7 drives. I never really was into crossovers. bmw X1/X3 are probably an exception, but as this point I need a capable offroad vehicle so X1/X3 are not on the shopping list stick shift or not (I think stick is not even an option on X3).
