Hi all,

My name is Dan im 31, ive yet to get an MPS, however this has become my next target ;-)
at present i drive a beemer its ok but pretty boring. ive previously been a member of car forums for preludes, golf gti's and my old impreza.

So, the MPS. Im currently looking at the 6 mps, basically i see the car as a means to fulfill everything i need from a car. enough space for 3 kids (and the missus) refined, boot enough for golf clubs, comfortable, unasuming and potential.

basically this will become not only my means of transportation but a weaponised toy for me to enjoy after dropping the kids at school.

Ill be a bit in the back ground just reading and doing my home work for a little while as i save some pennies and decide what routes i want to go down and which car to buy. but ill pop up periodically.

for me historically car forums have proved to be not only a mass of information but a fun community of like minded people sharing a pasion and generally abusing each other :-) im hoping this forum is of the same ilk.

so in summary,
Hi thanks for having me ill read lots probably ask lots then buy a car and let the costly fun begin.

The 6 is a great car.
I know a good friend who is about to put his 6 up for sale soon, well cared for and he likes to detail it so is nice and shiny too
He's on here too, I'll notify him that you're looking

AVOID TOTAL MPS http://www.mpsowners.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=20073

I picked up mine @ 32 replacing a standard 54 plate 6 beforehand, similar position to yourself, wife, 2 kids, needed something to deal with them but with enough to keep me interested.

2 Years on, still puts a grin on my face

Stock 6 MPS : because it's fine as it is!

gunna be a couple of months before im looking to buy one also i still have HER to convince which is the biggest hurdle.lol
thanks though.

The biggest problem with acquiring a 6MPS is finding a good one. They are very rare especially if you want a "low" tax version. Prepare to travel.

Hi and welcome along.

I was I exactly the same boat as you.
I'm 32 with 2 kids and another on the way. I wanted a car to tick all the boxes and I believe the 6 is about as close as I can get for sub 10k.

I also planned on waiting a couple of months before purchasing one but within two days of joining I had found one to close to miss out on!

I played the we need awd for safety during winter card on the missus and it seemed to work!

My wife is not a fan of my 6MPS but she does like the AWD after we got caught in some appalling winter conditions a few years ago. She couldn't believe how good the traction was.
