Here here!

My first child is due in Feb. I've lost count of the times my mates keep saying that "You'll have to get rid of that fancy CSL...". I take great delight in setting them straight that i really dont have to!

Anyway, the missus can get a diesel estate for all that 'mundane family stuff' - lol!

Glendog, the csl is my only car so i'll replace it with a diesel estate for the wife....then maybe late next year look for a sg one rather than the sb i've got now.

Remember people these csl's are noisey, uncomfortable and clunky.
I'd store it in the garage and i'll take off your hands when i'm ready to come back

No there are not...I find mine very comfortable and only noisey when you want them to be...bu then I did have a Lotus before so comfort wasn't it's strong point.

My CSL is my only car. When i said 'missus' - i meant my missus...! She has a small Toyota Yaris at the moment so she can 'trade-up' to an estate.

I have to disagree to be honest. I find the CSL very comfortable - i have driven 12k miles in mine since April. I also don't think the CSL is particularly noisy or clunky - just depends how it's driven of course and in what 'S' setting the gearbox is in.

We're all in different situations after all but i can't help think that you would miss the CSL if you got rid - for the very reasons i would imagine that you bought it for in the first place? That's in addition to the deteriorating trade-in price you would get just now - IMHO

Congrats!!! If I had a pound for everyone who took delight in telling me that I would have to sell the csl.............I could afford a black one as well!

I had a baby in April. At first it was a 2 person job putting the baby in the back of the csl - one person gets in the back and then baby is passed in and put into the child seat but after I got used to handling the baby, I could sort of hold her close to me and squeeze us both into the back. Wasn't a good look at the supermarket, but who cares! Also, the car seat didnt come out with baby in - only at an angle that horrified the grandparents lol. Once they get a bit bigger and less fragile it gets easier.
