So, our car was written off 5 days ago when DH and the DC's were in the wrong place at the wrong time when a river suddenly burst its banks and they had to be rescued by the fire bridge. Scary stuff but we now have to think about getting a new car.
We had a Ford Cmax was was very reliable and cheap to maintain so it is definitely on the list to consider again. However in our area there are 12-15 pre registered Citroen C3 Picasso's all exactly the same model with just delivery millage for under 10k (list price is £15,395) so looks to be a real bargain. Never owned or even driven a citroen. The car has a great 'what car' review but first hand experience would be great...anyone??
