Great for a mobile dog kennel which I need Mark, but I think your mum would much prefer the tourer.
She should take a test drive, what's to lose?

Yup, been saying that to her, as she looks at them online, but nothing beats a drive and nose over.

I suspect it won't be as comfy as the Omega for long distance, as thats were Estate spends most of it time, on the M40.

Think its similar to Qaushai +2, which is like a Tourer version of standard Qaushai.

Space was excellent, rear seats could be slid forward/back. But quite pricey for what they were I felt

Similar deal at lookers, but not as good, seems to be the 1.6 very basic model...

Or a Monaro along with spare cash for LPG conversion

Or a diesel Jag with sub 70k miles

I can beat the finance with barclays (just). £10000 over 48 months, total repayable £11650.

That looks like a good deal for a BRAND NEW car.......but I still reckon that you'd get better value with a "virtually new" demonstrator with delivery mileage.  :y

Remember that the road tax, delivery charges, and registration fee are not included in the price.

Road tax £200. Delivery £???. Registration fee £55. Metallic paint £600?. A mere bagatelle, tight arse.
I'll get about three grand for mine.

Can't get comfortable in my mothers. Gave me a bad back on a 50 mile trip. Best is the diesel as petrol a bit juicy for a big car. Mirrors need to be bigger, loads of blind spots.

I've owned one for the last three years, Bill. I've driven a couple of hundred miles with no discomfort, I get about 40-45 mpg on a run, 30-33 around town and I have no trouble with the mirrors.

You must be blind and a funny shape. ;D

I have cancelled my test drive for tomorrow. I looked at my current zafira this morning, after taking the dog out, and I realised, despite my best intentions, the new one would be in a similar condition after a few months. No point really.

Just hook them up to the back, get in and drive.  ;D

Unfortunately this actually happened to a family in St Agnes Cornwall many years ago. The wife used to go to church every Sunday and the husband separately walked the dog. One Sunday he walked down to the church and tied the dog to the bumper of wife's car and they missed each other. She drove all the way home with dog attached.

Maybe because it wasn't more than a mile  and narrow lanes as well the dog actually survived but the pads on its paws were severaly scarred.

there was one about four  years ago and the dog died... think it was a bigish dog...at one point mr plod was talking about charging the driver with animal cruelty when in essence it was just a tragic accident :(
