          For the annual mileage we do, we can't really justify trading up, so we'll probably hang on to it until it dies.
          The old gal is 20 and I've had her for 16 years.

          I keep toying with chopping her in for a hot hatch before fun cars get banned but, like you, I most likely end up holding on until she goes to the great scrap heap in the sky.

            Do they still even make those? I remember back in the late 80s hankering after a 205 GTI but never did get one.

            Everything seem to be SUV these days.

                It would have to be an older second hand one, there aren't really any under 5 years old. I can't stand SUV's so won't be buying one of them.
