      A couple of people on the forum, self included, drive the Tucson, which shares many parts with the Kia and I have found it very good as a drivers car and packed with lots of equipment and safety kit, even the fuel consumption is reasonable, given the cars weight and size.

        I think a 2nd referendum would produce the same result with a slightly bigger margin and a General Election would return a majority conservative government. I also believe we shall see the PM’s deal passes but conditional upon her resignation and I then believe we shall have a general election in the autumn. Question Time has degenerated into  a shouting match.

          I have a feeling we will have WTO Brexit. And in 2 years we will look back and say why didn’t we leave sooner.

            May always said my deal or no deal. These are the only options now.

              Its looking possible Mrs May’s deal may get through on it’s 3rd attempt. Persuading DUP vital.

                I recall an Indian blockbuster where two sides disagreed so much they settled it over a cricket match. Imagine “Rees Mogg comes in and bowls, its on middle stump and Corbyn bats it away signals to Soubry not to run and its fielded by Johnson who throws it to wicket keeper Leadsom”. Entertainment!

                    <p style=”text-align: left;”>Concur with Wigwam. I’d start with bercow. As regards Mrs May, her stock amongst the British public is probably at an all time high. The MP’s in the main are behaving like sulking (I was going to say teenagers but that would be an insult to all teens) . Basically in a sulk because the referendum went against them and making it all about them. All it will take is 1 veto out of 27 and game over.</p>

                        Most likely outcome, May’s deal has it’s third vote and is passed. Interesting interview with Farage who is now lobbying for a veto on article 50 extension so we leave on WTO on 29th March.

                          We wait, breath bated, for the result of tonight’s vote. I predict it will be closer than last night’s.

                            This is why it took a while for the x2 to appear.

                              <p style=”text-align: left;”>Fascinating discussions. I understand tonight’s vote is should we leave on 29th march without a deal as opposed to taking no deal off the table. I have little idea of what might happen going forward but echo those who say that if Brexit is cancelled and the will of 17.4m is overturned then we have extreme turbulence ahead. I actually think it’s quite possible Mays deal mk3 might as ure enough votes as real panic sets in both here and in Ireland and the wider EU. The proposed 10.6% car tariff is a warning shot to Germany in particular. Of course tonight’s vote  is fraught with difficulties as any extension to article 50 requires EU approval so we could leave without a deal anyway. My own MP who is  brexiteer has been sceptical of the prime minister’s approach. At present an having a free coffee in Berkshire courtesy on my daughter’s o2 freebie so will catch up with Pmq’s later.</p>

                                  I recently elevated an old thread where 2692 cars were present.

                                    Under current rules it doesn’t meet the criteria for inclusion.

                                      10.6%  tariff will result in a much lower increase in rrp.

                                          We had ours about 4 to 5 months before motability agreed to an early termination and in reality this could have been shorter. A fee of £50 was payable but could have been £250 max.  Any monies spent on extras was lost too which was very little in my case but any AP is refunded pro rata.

                                            I fully concur Kris, the X1 was the worst car I had. Mine had potentially dangerous transmissions issues, hence an early lease termination but the car was not great to drive, noisy and the seats not good either. I do miss the I Drive though. Not a car I would reccomend.

                                              This looks a cracking car.

                                                  Very interesting, plenty more twists and turns and lots of jittery poker as this issue continues to entertain, divide, frustrate etc…

                                                    Leaving under WTO is looking more likely and more attractive.

                                                      I had the cx5 on my 3 car shortlist.  I wonder what happens with existing orders.  Are these fulfilled or cancelled?
