Cars General Chat

What cars are we driving, ladies and gents?

I'm currently sporting a '15 reg Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 ecoFlex, but I pretty much hate it.. ? Not because it's a bad car, but because I've had 2 separate incidents where people have scraped it whilst parked, and damaged the paintwork on both occasions. I also have an issue with the clutch pedal at the moment.. I borrowed some money (which I'm still paying off) to try and fix it, but the problem still remains! Unfortunately the latter issue has put me off from having another Vauxhall..

Last night I reserved a '17 reg SEAT Ibiza 1.0 TSI FR, and hope to test drive it today or tomorrow. I need something to cheer me up a bit and it ticked all of the right boxes for a replacement.. It's just whether or not my finances add up.. ?

For years I was driving a jeep (Suzuki), then I moved on to a Dacia Duster mainly because I had 4 dogs and needed something to accommodate them but as the dogs have grown older (or are no longer alive) I've had less need for such a big vehicle.

I'm currently driving an Audi A3 Saloon 2.0 TDI which I'll be replacing at the end of the year (I don't buy cars anymore, I just rent for 2 years then return them for something newer). I'm going to stick with Audi and replace the A3 with a TT Coupe.

Audi's are the best

A Skoda Octavia RS 245. Best car I've ever had.

So the Corsa went yesterday and the Ibiza FR was purchased.. ?

I'm paying slightly more than I wanted to in an ideal world, but I got a decent part-ex offer and had extra cover for any minor paintwork damages.
