I will be considering off loading the X if it attempts to bankrupt me again within a short period of time. My love affair with the X is nearing an end. I wouldn't buy a bare basic new car I would buy something a little more snazzy. I have been doing the car rounds recently and have found a lot of quality and value where I didn't think I would find it. The Kia Optima has a close to first rate cabin...darn better finish than many new bimmers, lots of lux features and is amazing value. Sure it won't sound or drive as nice as the propeller roundel but I drive on public roads not a racetrack so who cares anyway and I'm not in it for car park glory. I kinda feel self concious about having the fanciest car in the lot sometimes. As far as solidity goes my X has squeaks and rattles galore compared with my old Honda prelude vti-r which had none and it was older than my X. I'm also considering buying dual cab Hilux for work and offroad play as they have bulletproof rep down under. 2 reliable good value cars in my garage is what I'm looking forward to.
