Pat’s Point of View

In a sudden (but not unexpected) turn of events, we have decided to abandon the search for a really small car as reported in previous posts. After looking at more vehicles and baby buggies (just planning ahead) we decided these smallest of cars won’t hold what we want over the next few years.

Indecisive? No! To borrow a naval term we’re simply bracketing our target :)

So we’re back looking for something bigger, but not too big. A mid-sized hatch. So we’re slap bang in the middle of the biggest and most competitive segment of the automotive market! We need to narrow it down a bit before I short-list it, but we’re talking Astra, Corolla, Pulsar territory. Used, since buying new was just a pipe dream.

Unlike my friend Martyn, I don’t think we’ll be looking at a Mini Cooper or MX5….bastard! :)

Stay tuned, looks like this is going to be a saga.
