Good shout. On the list for test drive.

No beef, I like them. But they're too small for what I'm looking for - basically same size as the Fabia we already have and I can't have a grown up or even a child in the seat behind me. All in all it's been a great car for the past 4 years, and still only has 34k on it. Just not very practical for the type of driving we do most.
I like the Focus's but honestly the inside of them is an absolute shit show (unless you get the new one- which is out of budget). Considering you spend more time looking at the inside of a car than the outside... and 10k is a lot of money, I'd like to own something I actually like.

Fully electric not really an option right now as car will be used for motorway journeys to Wales and lake district etc.
Budget wise I think around 10k - but was also looking at gte's which would mean spending more than that

I've been driving on plates for ages. Fairly confident I'm not going to smash up a nice-ish car

Good advice and pretty much validates my thinking. Cheers mate. Insurance is a thing but slightly less so because i would be on eb's insurance and she's been driving sensibly for years.

Interesting. I like minis but always found them a bit close to the floor for something I want to drive all the time. Also bit short on space. Does the countryman have more room?
-
Yeah I know- whatever we get is going out the the window at that point. I've tried to make the 'fun car' case but this is as far as I have been able to move the window of conversation. Tbh I'd be really happy with a touring BMW or Merc now - can get more bikes in etc.
-
Lol. So ugly. Just not my thing. I've heard they're nice to drive though.

Should also add - whatever I buy needs to be kosher in ulez
@Colm89 My mum had one of those for a bit. Binned it after 6 months: "it's a shit car for old people" - bought another touring Merc after. She is 70 this year.
@TGR no offense to your mate, but that is horrific.
