That'll be a depreciation machine - how about slightly used 9-3 or a mini

Default That's a problem with lots of cars here in the US
I was sitting behind a truck yesterday and his bumper was level with my chin.

But alternatively, there is rolling over and losing control to consider.

SUV's just make everything much harder.

Default A4's aren't known for holding their value either
If you like the car then go with it. As long as the car is reliable and makes u happy go for it.
