• Yeah, it's a hatch too, love them but not right now.

    Thing is, we're moving to west coast of Ireland where cost of living is low, and space is plentiful, so I'll likely buy something fun for myself when we're home and settled next year.

    I've narrowed my choice to 2 or 3 cars:
    06 impreza wrx wagon - slightly older, not cheap to run, but plenty reliable if you don't chase power
    05 forester xt - same as the above pretty much, but worse on fuel and with more space
    13 skoda yeti 2.0tdi 4x4 - cheaper to run, cheaper to tax, nearly 10 years newer, but (and its a big one) it's a diesel

    The impreza is my wife's least favourite annoyingly

  • Did they do the Renault Mégane gt220 wagons, sorry, estates over there? Plenty of room and decent go. Great old school induction growl too.

  • Diesel is significantly cheaper here before you even factor in fuel consumption. Also if you're self employed you can claim VAT on diesel but not on petrol...

  • Yeti boot really isn't that big. Tall, but small floorspace.

  • We’ve a place in the rural south West, plan is eventually to retire there, so only use hire cars and old motorbikes I’ve stashed there atm. I wouldn’t buy anything too exotic on the grounds that getting anybody to fix or service it would be a major pita, Scoobys don’t seem to popular down our way, even with the boy racers. May not be an issue if it’s not your regular drive.

  • 5k, under 3.0, estate, fast & fun:
