They can present bills well into 5 figures and have their own share of engine out repair issues. Many cars with huge engines crammed into smallish engine bay need engine out for repairs.

@@dadcars oh yes, they certainly are. I was tempted by a bentley from a specialist in London that sells Bentley & Rollers and gives a 2 year inhouse warranty with all cars sold and a major service pre-delivery if its not recently been done. On those cars, spark plug service costs a bomb. The only things that stopped me were the cars were quite pricey and the warranty doesn't cover "wear and tear". On a 15-20 year old car, they could argue that almost any failure is wear and tear 😂. I'd love one but the chances of being thrown a 5k-15k bill on a 10k car just ruin it. That & the fact that any Bentley specific parts will also be silly expensive.

[@sportec300]

I do also have a RS6 C6, and it amazes me every time I drive it. I do have a tune to close to 900hp (larger turbos, modified cooler) and it's absolutely perfect as a daily. Gonna be a dad soon and we decided that this will be our family car (instead of a Q7 V12 or SQ7 TDI). From an emotional perspective the car is more involving than the C7 RS6 I have as well. C7 is more capable and easier to live with, but probably a tad to "easy". And with a light beige Alcantra interior not exactly ideal for kids... 😃

Any 6-Series would make a great DadCar, I’ve got an ‘08 650i that I have my nieces in regularly and they love it. IsoFix as standard, big boot and some V8 goodness and also well under £10k. It’s no supercar, but it’s not slow either. And the reliability reputation is overblown; if it’s looked after, the V8’s are actually pretty good. If it’s neglected that’s when it throws endless problems. I wouldn’t spend less than £5k, because it’ll almost certainly be a neglected one, but £7-10k will get you almost any modern 6-Series, which I think are really underrated cars. They’re not too expensive to insure either.

@@dadcars talking about the later model yeah I'm subbed to him he got very lucky with that car

[@chrisbutler2636]

How about a bmw alpina d3 ?

[@dadcars]

Taylor recently got a lovely Alpina, great video on the V2 channel

[@chrisbowditch6684]

I know you wanted a c63 but cant get one for £10K, have you considered the c55, which you can get for £10K?

[@carlhewitt9324]

Personaly i would go opder. Am a dad a daily a 2013 xfs and my week end sunny dads is a 2001 audi s6 c5 avant kids love it. It sounds amazing. Looks amazing. You could get a rs6 c5 for that money or evan abit newer s4 avant. Great dad cars or somthing like a Porsche Cayenne luxury aound well againg real well amd room for the kids

[@MarcusRussell-g7m]

I understand mate, you would need to be extremely brave to have the Rangie and the Bentley, it has to be another Maserati then 😂

[@dadcars]

I’d feel a lot more comfortable with another maser yeah 😂 a known quantity

[@cj.6988]

The back seats in Jaguar XKR are unusable unfortunately , which rules it out for me too small token gesture seats no good as a family car.

[@Zlin0035]

Dunno about you, but for £10k you could get some Legendary cars like the Mistubishi GTO, Toyota Chaser, Mk3 Supra, Alfa Romeo 147 GTA etc. So i went and bought a 2K Volvo 480 instead. love it!

[@dadcars]

I had a 3000gt in my 20s… have to say I’d be tempted if a well cared for example was offered to me

[@Zlin0035]

@@dadcars Damn, I had a mark 1 Honda Insight for my whole 20's before I got my Honda CRZ (aswell as my 480).

[@FRFRANKIE]

Hi Ben. Hope your doing well. I loved the content. I would still buy a DB9. That car is just so cool.

[@dadcars]

I could get a DB9 with a blown up engine I suppose 😂 would still look good on the driveway

[@FRFRANKIE]

[@Hixzeh]

E46 M3.......... Easy!

[@WeekendWarrior-Official]

I have two perfect Dadcars - a 2014 BMW 435d X-drive convertible and a 1980 VW T2 camper. Both around £10k and each brilliant fun. The six pot BMW twin turbo engine is utterly brilliant, and in 4 wheel drive it is a pleasure to chuck around the lanes. The VW on the other hand, is brilliant but in totally opposite ways - the kids love them both in equal measure.

[@dadcars]

That’s a great duo 👏

[@WeekendWarrior-Official]

​@dadcars thanks, they're great weekend cars. My daily is a BMW i4 M50 which from an engineering perspective is just outstanding. Comfy, stupid fast and four seats. The perfect EV. That, sat alongside my Discovery 3 and the other two, is a garage with four cars for any occasion! But, I do quite fancy a Bently, had no idea one can be bought for £10k. Wow.

[@cj.6988]

Same engine in the 435d and 640d? But the 4 series significantly lighter!

[@WeekendWarrior-Official]

@cj.6988 Yeah, same N57 engine with about 310 hp. Best thing about it is the smoothness of the torque. It's a great engine. 👍🏻 The 4 series is generally lighter, but mine is a convertible so has a little weight over the saloon. Great fun with the sun though.

[@lookship]

Interesting watch. I need to do the same with 5k 😅

[@dadcars]

Get a busso 👌😮‍💨

[@john9968]

Lexus SC. Approved used cars for about 12K

[@Jjm2024-u3t]

Ever considered a Monaro or maybe a vxr8?

[@dadcars]

Id love to try one

[@5150TJT]

VXR.. not sure what the go for there

[@dadcars]

You could get a monaro for 10k but the VXR8s are out of reach I’d say

[@5150TJT]

@@dadcars Monaro will be a classic, prices have risen here in Australia. Easy cheap power..

[@JamesColford]

Jag xkr or gran tourismo if potential repair cost don't scare u

I’m definitely a dad car with 8 kids my wife has a 7 seater Skoda I’ve got a 2011 jag xf s 3.0d powerful and luxury cream leather 👍

Maybe buy a book? Watch the TV?

Never anything on 🤣

Johnny did not have him covered

[@shqiptari1699]

If you can find an Audi a7 BiTDI for under 10k it’s worth a shout fun, pretty fast and spacious

[@dadcars]

I reviewed a crazy modified S7 super early in the channel check it out!

[@gcosmos960]

Got a CLK 3.2 v6 convertible and it’s the best dad car ever!! Family loves it, super comfortable and it’s so much fun for £2K

[@maximusdecimus111]

decent e46 m3s are around 10k now...

[@dadcars]

Great shout, perfect looking cars. I’ve never driven one though

[@speedysloth4726]

Or get a classic 928 Porsche!

[@dadcars]

I drove a 968 on the channel, awesome cars

Is my mate casually sitting on an f40 or f50 wheel?
