What car?

[sasguru]

Tell me about it. Having those wide Continental tyres, low ride height, deep front spoiler and a heavy engine up front meant pretty much 3 inches of snow even on a slight incline was an impossibility. Car would just slowly rotate one wheel whilst 99% of the world drove by laughing.

How embarrassing. Small willy AND useless car.
Doubly impotent.

How RUDE!

As long as I've got my booster cushion I'm fine and you know it! I can more or less see over the dash.

Looking for a new car to replace my MG which is carp when it comes to good fuel economy. Looking for something big (have 3 kids at the weekend), comfy for long trips on the motorway (am clocking up 800 miles a week at the moment), with a good MPG thats still fun to drive.

Is a BMW 520d too obvious a choice?

How much you wanting to spend?

What is this fun to drive thing you mention ?

Since when has driving ever been fun ? In this grid-locked country ?

It's a chore. It's banal and boring.

Now, if it was legal to attach and use a few guns, that might make things interesting, at least for a while.

Kia Ceed 1.6 diesel.

has the added benefit that you won't be too bothered about your 3 kids messing up the back

For eating up miles on a big comfy car that you can stick three kids in and all your luggage. And if they all puke in the corners, it's only a Ford. Cheap to insure, any garage can service or mend it.

Tell me about it. Having those wide Continental tyres, low ride height, deep front spoiler and a bum fluff moustache and a mullet meant pretty much everybody in my street called me a German chav while 99% of the world drove by laughing.

Your not driving on the right roads then if your not having fun, I really enjoy leaving the chavved up Saxo's for dust then I floor it at the moment, make quite a spectable as The Archers blasts out from Radio 4
