The Diesel isn't slow at all, it outpeformances the petrol in most respects, thanks to lots of low-down grunt.

Well, you're not going to believe this but we are now talking about a fiesta. We just have to confirm they are big enough They are supposed to be a cracking drive.

The scenic is still on the cards though.

Cap'n, you're making my head spin.

I gathered you wanted a little more interior space?

Compared to a Land Rover everything is a cracking drive, but compared to a MINI?

Perhaps a Maserati Quatroporte would give you the performance and the space you're looking for? But, unfortunately, a little long for the garage.

A fiesta AND a scenic or just one of ?

No no... one or the other.

See, the car just has to be big enough to do the shopping run. Mum, two kids, a pram and the shopping. 4 doors is a big thing. Anything where we need more space we have the defender for.

I'm trying to get something that we can sell in a couple of years and not take a bath on. I've found this fiesta ghia that has gone from a 25k car to a 15k car in not two years with only 17k on it

Even if we buy it and own it for 2 years I reckon it will only have 30k on it, and we should still get 12-13 for it.

On the positive side the fiesta has "class benckmark" dynamics according to wheels.

We drove the scenic on Saturday. It was nice However I could hustle the fender around more quickly. At one point we were taking off from the lights and not really doing anything too much and I looked at the saleman with horror and said "that's flat"

My friends have started asking me "what car is it this 24 hours" LOL.

I'm not sure if I mentioned it earlier but the MINI went to a 20 yo kid still on his learners last night He did seem like a nice kid though

That's why I suggested the Diesel!

I was stunned at how little power it had. Admittedly it was an Auto.. but still.

20 yo on his learners and he gets a car like that ?! Life sucks for some people doesn't it. I had a Datsun 180 !!!!
