    Why bother about the really low mileage if it's a diesel?
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

          I said this in another post.

          The only way to go is Seat Leon - It's a VW for a much cheaper price. Fully practical in that you can fold down seats and put stuff in it. Just make sure to get one with cruise on it.

                I test drove a Leon and a Ford Focus TCDI. Ford Focus was a much more comfy drive plenty of boot space to.

                  I had a similar quandary a month or two back and I opted for a 2.2D Honda Civic and it's bloody great! The amount of storage is just amazing, glove box is like a foot and half deep. The boot is massive and has a flap that drops down where the spare is on normal cars adding even more space. The chairs have a really funky lie flat system with one move so no buggering about lifting the seat and putting the back down.

                  The 2.2 i-CTDi sport goes like the clappers but I am still running at 49mpg.

                  The cockpit is really funky in blue and everyone that has seen it loves it. It's just a bit different so adds to the driving experience. I personally love the look of Civic as well. It is different enough to still keep looking at it rather than the standard Focus and the like.

                  Decent diesels nowadays go for ever so I am told so no real benefit going for a low mileage one. Mine has 80k on the clock and is as sweet as a nut. Cost me 6k.

                  I wouldn't normally rave about a 6 year old car that is just my work horse but I have to say it's a bloody great car. Highly recommended.

                  Get the sport as it has bigger alloys but the ride is a bit firmer.

                    Is that the one you had your crunch with that woman driver who pulled out in front of you?
