Well, you can't expect a modern car to be waterproof, good grief!
Out of interest what's been your favourite bobby car? For speed, handling, or indeed just "not breaking down"...

what's been your favourite bobby car
I loved driving the Volvo T5. It went like the clappers, was surefooted, held the road like it was on rails and was built like a tank. Nothing would stop it & it was very good and sturdy when putting on a box.
The early 5 series BMW's were by comparison crap. Too heavy & slow for the town centres being diesel & had much turbo lag, too much gear changing as they easily ran out of legs ( where as the T5 could sit in third and either sit at town speeds OR hit the loud pedal & WOW!!! , silly in the wet, and had too many problems - i.e. DMF, DPF's, fumes entering the cabin.
New 530's with the twin turbos - I'm beginning to like them (when they work) and that's the problem with em, too many electronics to go wrong & go wrong they do. They are VERY fast, handle a lot better than their predecessor and don't feel like you're driving an oilburner.
