I tried to get a test drive in the "Boy Racer" one last week, but just got voicemail and left them a message.

I called them again yesterday, only to find they'd sold it on the weekend.

So I called the other showroom...

... and they'd sold theirs on the weekend too..!!

Oh well, I'm not in a rush, so I'll keep looking.

That size car is in short supply - ideal first car, ideal runabout etc etc. I know it's not helpful due to costs, but have you tried looking at what is called a "Luxobarge". I picked up a Chrysler 300CRD Touring on a 56 plate for less than 2k. Any change left over went towards the insurance costs. For a 3.0l V6 diesel automatic, I can get approx 45mpg on the motorway, 500 mile tank range. Massive inside.
