I run an '03 Mini and an '08 Isuzu truck. Both are perfect for their jobs (respectively ferrying around me and 2 kids, and ferrying dogs, kids, horse crap and towing a horse trailer). I would strongly resent paying through the nose every month for a new car's depreciation, and also all the ridiculous toys like auto wipers, satnav, adaptive cruise that I have absolutely no need for. I would also cry every time I had to scrape my new paintwork down a country lane hedge, or my son put his muddy football boots all over the shiny trim etc etc.
