    Aygo has gone - New car has been ordered

    Right the saga of buying a family car is over. There are lots of options out there and I had fun test driving some of them. In the end the following brands were ruled out:

    1. BMW - chavtastic, ubiqitous
    2. Merc - a cliche around where I live
    3. Audi - driven by dicks
    4. Alfa Romeo - Unreliable

    Was very tempted by the Jag XF but my tightness wouldn't cope with the unreliability/depreciation + the boot wasn't big enough.
    Would have got a Mazda MPS except they don't do a new one anymore.

    But anyway the decison was made and I have ordered a brand new car.
    Any guesses, if you can be bothered?
    Hard Brexit now!

    You did the sensible thing and bought an old banger?

        Nope, safety is paramount and the newer cars are safer. Anyway cash isn't an issue.

            I hope your wife knows why you rejected that car...

                Give us a clue, is it a saloon car, family hatch, people carrier, Chelsea tractor, or what?

                  Correct. Which one though?
