Best car in this crazy budget

    I really like the idea of the Volvo XC60 Hybrid so I was playing around with the build option on their website

    https://www.volvocars.com/ie/build/suv/xc60/inscription/t8-twin-engine-automatic-awd?s=2KGGYD7

    It came to 85K !!

    I couldn't justify that spend on any car and I got to thinking is anybody who is spending 85K on car going for a Volvo !

    What is a better car for this price ?
    It needs a high seating position as I am to old and fat to be crawling out of a sports car
    It needs to be hybrid or electric as I need to say I am doing my bit for Global Warming when having Avocado mash and poached eggs on Sunday with my latte supping friends and family.
    It needs to have a bit of luxury too
    Ideally for that price it should make young women swoon.

    thoughts ?

    Old, fat, wants electric car that will make young women swoon.

    Buy a Milkfloat and get One Direction or Ed Sheeran to use it as a stage.

    Youd get a well spec'ed Alfa Stelvio for that money... and have change. It's a panty dropper.

    Buy an 520d for €50k and spend the other €35k on coke and hookers.

    This is quite obviously a funny/p1sstake/for a laugh thread, so here I go in the spirit.

    Get a Tesla Model X - high, electric, completely barren inside but it's considered cool these days. Perfect for a fat, old own-fart smelling fecker, overpriced enough to compete with avocado sandwiches.

    It will certain make young women swoon; Just don't complain when they turn out to be the types who blabber for hours about anti-vax conspiracy theories and refuse to shower because "soap is bad for the environment" :D:D

    Alternatively...

    10 years old Porsche 911, hookers & cocaine (it will make you lose weight and jump out of the car like the Pop Up Pirate). Problem solved.
