Chelsea14Ian Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Just brought a new car.A few weeks back coming back from Biggin hill a car hit us on the back.There fault so the car was in for repair and we had a Seat Leon in the mean time. Marina loved it,so booked a test drive.We have gone for the Seat mini will be picked up in about a weeks time. Only thing is wrong colour,still nice to have a new car.Only a few miles on the clock. Marina with the sold sign 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Between my sons and I we have owned 5 Seats and never had a problem. My last was that real Seat colour of the early 2000s. Congratulations and happy motoring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 It's a proper colour that Ian, I can supply a nice Liverbird badge for the bonnet if you want to make it extra special! I hope it runs well for you and carries you on many trips to the broads. I really must change our car, it's 14 years old, 180,000 miles but never lets me down. It is however BLUE!

Stranger Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Nothing wrong with Seats had one for 4 years great, VW base so should be good just doing a swop too from a Skoda to a Ford c-max lots more room and easy to get in and out of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Both Dacias & Seats, well worth looking at, sensible cars at sensible prices. Two of my neighbours have just sold on their premium brand cars both at enormous price drops and one has bought a Dacia, the other a Seat and both are really pleased.

They corner like they're on rails though they can tramline a bit on motorways. Actually pretty reliable too (though ours was a petrol so you'd expect that).

SANTED Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I “accidently” ended up with a Honda 20 years ago when someone rear ended my Volkswagen Scirroco and wrote it off. I was so impressed with them I’ve been hooked ever since. So far two civics, three jazzes’, an Integra and a Prelude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExSurveyor Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I had a Honda Legend coupe and a couple of Integras. Also had a HRV, that was an odd one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgregg Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hard to fault Honda or Toyota, although Hondas just seem to have a bit more soul. Gotta love the VTEC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 7 hours ago, SANTED said: I “accidently” ended up with a Honda much the same here. My previous car was a Renault, Espace V6 diesel. It was abysmal. The mk IV was the first Espace built by Renault the I - IIIs having been licensed out to Matra. They proved reliable, the mkIV anything but. Every time I tried to trade it in I got the same response ...... sorry, we don't take the 3.0 diesel. In the end I found a dealer who would take it then chose the car, hence the cr-v. I've been to look at a new one this morning, though after three consecutive tin lids I do crave a return to a rag top, an E class being the most likely choice.
