New Cars

As our lovely Audi has bitten the dust we've had to hire a car for a few days until we can get another one.

We've got a Zafira and it's poo Shocked I used to be excited by new things, all clean and shiny, only done 4000 miles, but it's really plastic and gimmicky and I want our Audi back Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad

Is it just this model or are we spoilt by our fetish for VW/Audi cars?

I got my new car at long last (just a couple of weeks ago) and yes, it was black I'm glad I waited till the right one came along.

Its a Vauxhall Astra, and its the 3rd Astra I've had and to be honest I wouldnt have anything else... Very Happy

I think I like audis. been driving my mum#s a3 a bit over the last few days and ti's a really comfy car to drive. it's got less room in it than my old escort though, i like the smoothness, the power but i couldn't do 3 kids and enough kit for camping in that car.

I will always recomend a big galumphing volvo. Don't ask for a reasoned justification apart from £1k being good for at least 75k miles but a bit thirsty.

Get an A4 estate tdi = 55mgp, an N - P reg costs about 2K, they'll usually do about 450,000 miles, we were just unlucky Sad
