The other thing is most people let you in in traffic which is a bonus , you wouldn't get that in a tintop !
Very true - when I was still working a female colleague of mine bought a BMW estate due to increasing family, she came back into work after her first day in the field and announced that she knew what it was like now to be a Beamer owner - nobody let her out and cut her up in traffic not a a good experience, she returned to VW within the month.
We had all pulled her leg and said everyone will think you are a girl in blue in that as Somerset has loads of them on the M5/4 areas.
