@suvguy the only thing i know about engines is that mines is done and I don’t mean the cars engine.

@brydo I’ll just settle for my angiocradiogram on Wednesday, I do like the feeling of the dye, it’s like a soft warm feeling, can’t remember what it reminds me of ?.

@js the ioniq premium se is very tempting as it has a good spec and is hybrid. That swace, do you know the difference in price compared to the Corolla of similar spec. Read a bit on both then my brain give up. Corolla top spec excel and swace sz5 are they they same as there is a difference in price of nearly £1300. Swace sz5 is similar price to 2.0 ltr icon or 1.8 design. But if the sz5 is based on the excel trim I would really consider it.

@marc I sat in a Corolla gt and found it very low, not easy getting in and out of tbh.

I would prefer an suv as I’ve had 1 SAH, 2 PHCV and 5 TIAs LOL. So one leg is ok and the other is a peg basically. But thought about it a lot today and really doesn’t be that much of a pain to get in and out of a car, or much discomfort tbh. It’s just easier. Thing is, I take a few seconds and a bit of a pain to get in, then drive for 100, 1000, 10000 times longer, so if the right car, then yes I would take the few seconds hassle.

Another thing is, I don’t really care what a car looks like, honestly it could be covered in s&*t and if the windows are clear then I’m ok. It’s the inside, again were I spend most time in that gives me joy. I like a nice interior and dash, and honestly the more buttons, knobs and lights the better. If I had a choice between a mid level spec big badge and a top spec Ford, Kia, Seat etc, I’d always take the latter. Engines and stuff don’t really bother me as I’ve never been in a car that is to slow, and I’ve drove two old transits to know what slow is.
Now that I have to drive autos, that gives me a bit of thought as I’m new to them and have only drove 2 DSG cars and from what I gather a lot of folk on here don’t like CVT. Whats the difference? Surely in modern cars they will both be fine?
oh and my license is on the line, so I would like a car with lots of ‘toys’ to try before or if I do lose it. Like that parking fingy ma jingy that parks the car itself, I would probably never use it so would like to try it, same with smart CC or to open the pano roof, problem is I don’t really have the budget for that as any spare money I get goes towards holidays and for a good reason.

Near forgot. Got 41.2 mpg. 20 mile motorway run with CC set at 59mph, jezz I don’t know what was more depressing, the fact that all I got was 41.2mpg  or driving at 59mph
