You tow sometimes. You offroad sometimes. You carve up twisties and onramps sometimes. And you like to cruise in comfort and leather and get 23 mpg at 80 mph in rock-solid freeway stability sometimes.
And sometimes, the vehicle that suits the needs you have best may be something that may not be THE pinnacle of each criterion, but does each of them well enough to satisfy your requirement for all those things.
A Swiss army knife or leatherman tool is really useful. It's not the best tool for each task you use it for, but it does all of them adequately to do the job. If you could pick only one tool to own for the next 10 years, it'd be a great choice.
So get down off that snobbery perch before I start criticizing YOUR cars. (except lemming, because he has a pretty bitchin' fast car)

Sarcasm (I think), noted...
We don't need all of those things all of the time but we need (or at least I do) all of those things some of the time. The Disco' is our mule. For everything else, there's the M3.

I'm almost always sarcastic. It drives my wife nuts.
I think you're reinforcing my point.
Most of us can't afford to buy a F350 Super Duty to tow, a Jeep to offroad, a Prius to commute,a Lexus to cruise, a Lotus to track, a Suburban to haul in cover, etc, etc. That would be far more wasteful of resources than the compromises I chose in getting an E46 and an X5.
So why look down on the spirit of compromise? |
