Riiiight.

1. It was a Laguna, not a Megane.
2. I was happy when it went forward to work, rather than to the garage, Renault spares prices being what they are. I was never particularly taken with the handling, which can best be described as "easy" rather than "nice".
3. People who drive classic Saabs are not in a position to discuss "poseurmobiles". Sorry for buying a decent car. Inverted snobbery is still snobbery.[0]

Apart from that, you're dead right.

[0]And if I'd wanted a poseurmobile, I'd have plumped for an E30 M3 or an Impreza or a Quattro or an RS Turbo or an MR2 or a Supra or... Well. Not a 318 Compact, that's for sure. (All those cars were in my price range)
