Just starting off, got the pack in post today.
We need a bigger car as we have a Toyota Yaris which I really like but can just about get the single buggy in the boot now and nothing else stands a chance so have to get rid.

What did you go for?
Oh and any thing I need to know about this business of leasing a car etc?

A citroen picasso and we would never have another one. It's been back to the garage so many times with faults it's unbelievable.

Due to change next april and will probably go for a vauxhall zafira or a mazda 5 (depending on down payments). Take a look at www.motability.co.uk, the site will answer lots of your questions and gives you current prices on the schemes.

A Vauxhall Zafira, TC. Loads of space but I personally don't like driving it. It's like driving a tank. But then I'm a new driver so what do I know?

The boot is fantastic, we went on Holiday no trouble

But thee does seem to always be little things wrong with it
