Doing up a house atm so wanted a boot big enough for runs to the tip and Screwfix but also heated leather seats for back to normal commuting in the week.

Budget is £3.5k and seems plenty of them around. Beauty is they're all 1 owner from new and is usually a 60+ year old antique dealer.

That D5 engine is brilliant so I heard.

I have a V60 D4 myself and I want to change my car, but I also love it. Difficult to make the decision and I am looking for either S60 B5 or T8 in the future.

Currently looking at Hybrids and I'm somewhat torn between the Hyundai Tucson and the Renault Austral.
Going to take a look at the Ford Kuga today as well.

When did you turn into a middle-aged mum?

Me and the wife are considering starting a family in the next year or two, and the ever present prospect of being forced to make a 150 mile round trip commute twice per week makes me conscious of fuel efficiency, but I don't really want to go with diesel again incase it jumps in price again.

I've bought a 2005 XC70 lol

Our car insurance was increased by £200 to renew despite longer no claims and changes in our personal circumstances and housing that were better than previously, so we shopped around and found it £150 cheaper than it had previously been before the increase. Presented that to our old insurer in case they matched it but they insisted the most competitive option was a £160 increase. So obviously ditched them. Can't figure out how car insurance works at all.

Don't even bother negotiating with your old insurer. Just always move.

Heading off to test drive the Kia Niro and Sportage today

I always preferred Pret.

The other day I had a courtesy car for the day which was a Volvo S60 B5 Polestar Engineered and it was so quick!

It almost had 300PS in a two litre petrol mild hybrid. It was so easy to drive and I'd love to have one, but I do not think it's very economical for my travelling to work. I drive 25 miles one way to work and back home, so it's 50 miles a day.

It's so good mate.

Boot size is basically comparable to a transit van. Full brown leather interior. Sun roof! Heated seats etc etc pure luxury as I pull up at the local tip or do the nursery run. We've just been down to Pembrokeshire in it (300 mile round trip) and it didn't skip a beat. Ultimate beach wagon.

Bad things: handles like a transit van. And the 6 CD Player is broken also some intermittent warnings on the dash about abs but not worried about that

160,000 on the clock and I paid £3k for it. Would like to get some life out of it and I might treat her to a new stereo + Bluetooth system.

3k!!!!

Damn dude nice
