This has to be the perfect "I'm not tight, I'm just careful" contractor car.

"The Ceed is not only very focused, it's also offered with a mighty SEVEN-year warranty, valid for 100,000 miles."

Cheap as chips and if anything goes wrong, you have a cast iron warranty for next 7 years.

Why buy a Ford?

I intend to replace my Passatt with a 110 TD5 (2003/4 ish) at some point. Just waiting for the right one to come up really.

Portseven,

I don't know why you are so excited about bio diesel for 79p a litre, here on the mainland we pay 1 euro 5 a litre for the real thing, what's that in old money, about 70p !!!


Milan.

Ahh but you don't get to have your car smelling like a chippy with that stuff.

Can anyone remember nicking Mercedes badges and trying to make 'ninja throwing stars' out of them?

Or was that just me?

[Pondlife]

Of course the badge doesn't matter; the kids will nick it.

Seems that there are more Passat owners here than anything. Some bugger tried to nick mine off the drive a few weeks ago! Who'd want to steal a 2001 rep mobile?

I was thinking about changing over to a Honda S2000 (ok, bit hairdressery) but not now - the Passat is getting run into the ground.
