Default What's the point?

Coming home from Leicester today, I come up behind an MPV thingy, (one of those things my lad calls a "van with windows").

As I got closer I noticed it's got TWO exhaust pipes and that they are a weird rounded trapezoid shape.

Yes, it's the Zafira VXR.

I just have one question............WHY?

Oh well, at least it didn't have a daft Renault Espace roof-bar type spoiler

It's got a 2.0 turbo engine and it does 0-60 in 7.1 IIRC. Not too shabby for a people carrier!

Why is it not Ok to have a moderately "hot" people carrier, but it is fine to have a hot 5 door hatch or estate, or 4 door saloon? Perhaps we should ban all sports cars that aren't 2 seat rwd?

So "why?" Simply, it's because different people have different needs in cars. If you had 4 kids, would you appreciate being told "sorry, you're now not allowed to drive anything with more than 75bhp, irrespective of whether those kids are in the car?"

I looked at getting a zafira vxr as a second bigger car aswell as the scoob but as it was for long distances the mpg didn't make sense and it would have been so easy to build up points on long journeys.for someone needing space + a bit of fun

I was coming home last night on my people carrier when my lad said we were being followed by '' a loud chav car with letterbox on the bonnet''.

and he had 4 doors and only had 2 people in the car ...why??????

hey guess what..some people dont like subarus and need a big vehicle that doesnt die going up a hill with 7 people in..or feel gutless at 65 on a motorway when a big artic pulls over and forces you to pass. since when has wanting some degree of performance with practicality been an issue? if that was the case u'd be driving a mondeo glx you twonk.
