H'mm I was to go for a new car it would be a Mazda or a Honda.

But my old boss had a brand new Mazda diesel and had a lot of trouble with it. It didn't like lots of short journeys and the exhaust sensors kept failing, showing a fault on the dash, amoungst other things. It was more often back at the dealers than him driving it.

Too high tech, which is something my Zafira isn't

And are cack.

Loads of wheel bearing problems on my old one.

If I had the chance, I'd get another honda accord 2.2 ictdi sport again.
It was my last company car and what a great car it was too
Apart from ageing 20 years when you sit in it, and then bloody hell do they go!

Restricted in 6th to 155mph but if you dropped it down to 5th it would keep climbing

Sadly, I'm using a mondeo for the daily slog now but its a proper motorway tool.

Sits at 85 and will give me 56mpg (I did peterborough to northampton once and stayed 5mph below the speed limit all the way and got 62mpg) and has 150bhp.

Unfortunatly, cars are just a tool now, I get my thrills on 2 wheels

Not sure If our ones are the same that you had Rob, but they are bloomin fast. I don't have any need for a fast car

I want one of these faster, cheaper and more practical than a VW camper van. Plus not too big to drive like a normal van



But something to spend weekends away in anywhere I choose
