We also own a modern-ish car, it's an Astra twin top, nice enough but too much attention was put into styling and not enough engineering was put into the build quality .... the scuttle shake when the roof is down is dreadful ! my wife worked for Vauxhall for fifteen years and just about every engineer and salesman remarked .... nice looking car but awful drive and build quality. Just another mass produced Eurobox built with Form over function, which incidently is being sold as soon as the summer gets here. haha. |

For a small proportion of the population this quote is a valid point. Mt wife complains of difficulty getting in and out of the "too low" 75, but my answer will be to get my old Rover P4 back on the road. High seats, rear hinged rear doors, child locks, optional seat belts all with Rover comfort and style. Keeps up with modern traffic too. |

100% agree- I have never purchased a car for any other reason than I liked it, not popular/not cost/not experts opinion or anyother reason. And I have travelled far and wide in my different cars and as MGJohn has mentioned had a fair number of snide remarks made by owners of "better" cars made about my vehicles, but they always got me there.

I regularly drive current cars at work, which is great to get the right car for the job and for dependability. Not many really stick out and make me think I must get one of these. I always enjoy getting back into a MG-R, for my private mileage, as they has character.

It's not necessarily a negative term, more of a pigeon hole kind of statement. We as consumers are all entitled to voice our opinions and indeed show 'poor form' if it makes the 'subset' of us comfortable labelling a non descript grey CAD car as a 'Eurobox' . it could have been called a lot worse, I think Eurobox is being kind to some of the cars I've seen churned out in the last decade. |
