We are going to sell ours privately after we pick up the VW Wayne.

IX35 was knocked out as kids heads did not even come up to the windows in the rear let alone see out. Weird! .

You will find many new cars have high sides and smaller glass areas for greater accident protection, as they strive for 5 star safety ratings.

We are looking for another car as well.
Replacing the Fiesta after the issues with the gearbox and it is getting small. Well, the girls are getting bigger really.

Wife wants a hybrid to save on fuel. It is mainly shorter distances so a diesel is out of the question.
Looking at a Prius, Camry H or.....

My mother at 81 bought a Ti-L Dualis (now the Qashquai) last year. Likes it a lot, has been reliable and I like the way it drives.

Now I know what it used to be called. Thanks for that. Very impressed with the diesel so I might try driving the petrol version.

This is us now....went to get a new RAV4 and it's off the list - major dislike of the interior over the old models. So after two Ravs we're off looking for something else. Sarah drove the Nissan Quashqai and was impressed, Subie, VeeDub and Mazda test drives coming up next.

....I suggested the SS sport wagon - easy to carry canvas but she didn't buy it  :-[

Seriously though
My daughter has a Toyota Yaris and the wife absolutely loves it.
Drives it every chance she can, even speaking about trading in her two year old car to get one.

Take one for a test drive, you will be amazed.
