I have a 2 yr old Audi A6 Estate.... When I was a child I had a mouse that had more character.

Isn't that the same for many new cars -fantastic for getting you where you want to go in effortless cosseted comfort but dull
Exactly.
Character has been eliminated and pointless electronic stuff added as a distraction.
Earlier this week I had a BMW 320i Touring for 24 hours as a rental. It is unremittingly bland and served only to confirm my decision to get rid of my own similar car 18 months ago.
At the moment there isn't a new car that is affordable to me and that I'd want to buy.
