i'm afraid you are going to have to let your old man down gently.....he is officially now old. if he likes the 5GT over those cars then that's confirmation. the 5GT is basically a big honda jazz for people with ££££
ps: no offence to your old man!!!! all in good fun....come on 5GT -> "should've gone to spec savers"
pps: a good friend of mine has a 5GT and also loves it...he had an E60 before....we rib him about it endlessly but he's happy. it is nice to be in in that green house on wheels kind of way. i think he specced his with the bi-focal windscreen.....or at least we ask him that whenever he mentions it.
