    Hi Rosa :)
    That's such a gorgeous colour. I don't know a thing about cars but I hope this one is just perfect for you.
    You could always test drive it to Norfolk if you don't mind queueing a bit at Thetford!

    Rosa, my mate has that exact same car I think, roughly same age as well. He loves it. Is it the 1.6HDI? If it is then its the same as my mate's. He reckons it is very nice to drive and very nippy too, and he's had some fearsome beasts over the years so if he says it's good, then it's good to drive, then that's a pretty good endorsement. Even if its the 1.4HDI, I believe it still gives about 90BHP, which for a car of that size will still be a joy to drive.

    great to hear clueless its a 2 litre HDI low mileage diesel, i need to change the insurance directline but with hubby being in africa done know how to do it as hes the main policy holder although i am on his insurance, he may have to call them and get me authorisation to put the new car on policy, calling them in the morning for advice

    Excellent. 110bhp then according to Autotrader, and 67mpg on the open road. Sounds pretty ace to me.

    borrowers forgot to mention when you said about the pegeout cabrolet convertible about it been to low for your hubby i quite agree, think my hubby wouldnt of liked it for that reason they are small cars, they are not a mans car anyway there was problems with the electric roof and on hearing it could cost £2000 to repair it put me off .

    kandy thanks im sure this will be a nice car its been there 4 weeks and it started straight away, my brother had a look and said theres not a mark on it and the underneath is immaculute it has a full service history, so lets hope i picked a good one, its a shame about the roof down but im not bothered, its got more room and air con.sent pics to hubby he called me and said it was small hehe dont know what size he thought the mg and convertible pegeout was this is a big car its much bigger size than evena vauxhall corsa pics are very decieving
    my brother and sil didnt like the mg they said it had a lot of rust in places and they said it would be far to small for hubby

    hi all got my new car today its fantastic runs like a dream, had an abs light on and off but its nothing to worry about maybe breaks need looking at or a bit of dirt could be in them , going to local garage in the morning , windscreen wiper was a bit raggy so i bought a new one for the front and a friend put it on so apart from daft minor things its lovely well pleased with it, loads of room in it much nicer than the megane
