    I agree @JazzSi seeing all those reports of Vauxhalls bursting into flames has put me off owning one.Nearly as bad as those tumble driers catching fire as well:sad:

      The cause of them catching fire has been identified, and recalls issued. Therefore, it should not be a problem anymore. Unless of course owners decide to reintroduce the problem to the cars...

      Good afternoon Mrs Woo pride and joy (her Suzuki Ignis) is sadly at the end of its long and reliable life,she has had it from new for 15 years,I am surprised she hasn't put net curtains in it:heehee:

      She is looking at a Honda Jazz/Nissan Note/Skoda Fabia hatch and I have the pleasure and honour of accompany her starting tomorrow,the sooner we get Mrs Woo her car the sooner I can get back in to the garden,;)she wants one that is 2011 /2012/2013,as she has said at her age she doesn't want a new one,I am not even going to ask her what she means, so please don't ask me,thank you everyone:smile:

        Good afternoon @wiseowl Mrs Sandy Ground has a Honda Jazz. If it can survive the way she treats it, then it can survive anything. :yikes:

          Woo,when we were going to our tip on Sunday we drove past a Suzuki garage and on the forecourt a Suzuki Jimney caught my eye because it's colours were that of a Zebra and I thought I wouldn't mind one of those in that colour scheme but the price would probably be out of my range:snork:

          The Kia Sportage is quiet a nice little car and also there is the Kia Picanto :smile:

            I got rid of my Jazz as I got fed up with old ladies tapping on the window whenever I stopped anywhere (they all wanted to tell me they had a Jazz too)

              Good evening @Kandy and thank you ,Mrs Woo had a Jimny but it was only a two seater and since our daughter condition has deteriorated over the years we have to take our daughter to the hospital quite a bit:smile:

              I think Mrs Woo would like that:heehee:

                    I'm sorry Kandy but the Kia Sportage is one of the larger SUV's, it isn't a small car by any means. :)

                    I've heard good reports about the Honda Jazz @wiseowl. Honda cars, motorcycles and lawnmowers are very reliable but it's down to personal choice in the long run. They are more expensive to buy than similar cars but do hold their value very well.
