A little bit more information.

The Audi is fiscal very cheap if you remove the rear seat and seat belts. But it has to be official and you have to go to the MOT to get the car inspected.

Yearly road tax for the without the rear seat for the Audi = €122.12
Yearly road tax for the Porsche = €951.25

One time tax (registration or whatever it is called in English) for the Audi without the rear seat = €0
One time tax (registration or whatever it is called in English) for the Porsche = €6051.04


Emotional choice, I'd go for the Porsche.
Logical choice and finacially I'd go for the Audi.

You could argue if someone buys such an expensive car, you can easily afford the taxes of the Porsche.

I still want the Porsche.

Porsche. Saying fiscal and Porsche in the same sentence.... Pfff

Porsche. Saying fiscal Nd Porsche in the same sentence.... Pfff

What do you mean with Nd?

Typo. And...

I think you're mistaken. I said, "The Audi is fiscal very cheap..."

 

[RacingGrandpa]

I think you're mistaken. I said, "The Audi is fiscal very cheap..."

I know. You explained why the Audi was cheap and the Porsche expensive, in a fiscal way. You where talking about both cars.
A Porsche isn't bought with reason or economics. Reason and economic is used to not buy Porsche.

And that is why I said this.

I understand that. But you still are missing my point.
And by the way, registering the Audi as something it's not and then comparing apples and oranges isn't fair to any of the cars
If you are going to bring financial stuff into this then at least make it the same for both.

That is not possible, unfortunately.

I never considered the Porsche as a cheap car fiscally because as I said this is legally not possible, so your point is not valid but it is not fair to you because you probably didn't know.

You can change the Audi into a light duty vehicle by removing the back seat and seatbelts (it's reversable). The Audi stays the same only one seat less.
The Porsche has barely a back seat, so no fruit comparison necessary.

BTW comparing an Audi with a Porsche is always comparing apples and oranges but because I was wondering which one other people would prefer, I posted these two cars. It was a personal choice and thus it has nothing to do with fruit.

It is all personal and let us not get carried away and stay on topic.

I will go for the Audi simply because of how rare wagons are nowadays in our market compared to 20-40 years ago.

They are not rare over here.

 

[ToyGTone]

They are not rare over here.

Key word is "our region". It's either Sedans, Full sized pickups or Crossovers that really sells nowadays where i live unfortunately. Audi does offer the RS4 and RS6 Avant in our market but you're probably more likely to find an R34 GTR, Charger hellcat or Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

The Bentley is magnificent, but the Aston Martin A3 is only the third Aston ever built. Not the third model. The third car. It is the oldest Aston still in existence. Even though it's 1.5 liter side-valve four can only pump out a paltry 11 horsepower, it's still the one I would take.

Also I see neither one has front brakes, because those things are dangerous!

Just a FYI, the Bentley is also the third car.
