What would you own (funds permitting)?
Styley B5 with Auto box and infinitely customised interiors. Or the V10 monster?

i too would take the B5. I like the aero styling in fact.
the resale is quite harsh apparently.
a couple of years ago i took out an E46 B3S cab. Fantastic car. really fantastic. but I was warned off due to resale.
but i'd still buy a B5
