One of the most important things when buying a car though, is to get one with working indicators.

It's amazing the amount of cars you see on the roads these days that don't have this basic function built in.


They've got electric windows Les so you can stick you right hand out, however, your left arm is probably a bit short like mine.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

I'm biased because I used to work for the VW group so if you're looking at an Audi, consider a Skoda or a Seat or a VW

They're all from the same stable and use the same components in production

Since I left there, I've mainly driven Fords ( Mondeo and Focus ) which I'm more than happy with

To me a car is all about getting from A to B so it's really whatever you're happy with....folk generally have some kind of brand preference but in reality most cars should suit most people.

It just depends on how much you are prepared to pay


Had a brand new 08plate 2.0 VW Passatt as a company lease car back then, racked up 90k on the 3 yr lease before having to hand it back in. Never missed a beat , nothing went wrong at all on it and other than tyres and servicing never troubled a garage.  
Very economical too when you cossetted it , personal best of 915 miles off a single tank .

That last line was worthy of Partridge!

I have a 17 plate Merc CLA200, the best car I've ever driven. It's a company car so will get a chance to change it at the end of this year, maybe the beginning of next.
I might go for a BMW X1 plug-in hybrid next time.


Have a '67 plate CLA220 coupe. Incredible motor, no issues at all and drives like a dream.

Just bought a Mazda MX-5 NC (2015) 2.0 Sport Tech. Thinking of taking it to BBR in Brackley to get it souped up, midlife crisis  

Will also be taking it to "JR Classics Ltd" (Doncaster) to future proof it against the dreaded rust, unless anyone knows a local firm (Grimsby) that does it?

Not my car but same model and colour....

Bangernomics for me. I'm currently in a 59 plate Insignia which I bought in November. It was the wrong time to buy a car but I needed to because my last one, a Peugeot 207, got hit head on on Frederick Ward Way and Enterprise were hassling me for the car back every other day.

My last 3 cars have come with plenty of receipts and service history. I change the oil and filters myself so it's cheap motoring overall.

When I was in Limerick, they used to call those Kerry cars. If you ventured into County Kerry you never saw a working indicator...perhaps, bearing in mind this was before widespread use of Satnavs, this was because you were also lucky to see a directional sign as well, so coming up to a junction you didn't the feck which way to go...

I’ve got a Ford Puma, decent, mild hybrid, not that great but alright to drive. Boot space does not live up to the alleged amount.

Missus has a Hyundai Tucson. Got a great price on a brand new one, plenty of space and decent to drive.

I don’t earn enough to worry too much…
