OH as a Micra CC 47mpg local running, bit unusual comes in auto, but no new ones, good time of year to buy though they are a bit rare and mileages are low generally. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis
2012 HSE SD4 In Orkney Grey now gone, best car ever.

when i was looking a couple of years back, i looked at the usual suspects, ford, vauxhall, VW, skoda, seat, honda

Looking at them, and after a test drive in the fiesta and the corsa, we opted for a corsa 1.2 ltd edition, basically a 1.2 corsa with a VRX styled body kit, it handled well, has some poke and looks nice enough

Main reason was cost compared to others, then the fact Vauxhall provide a lifetime warranty and the service pack for the next three years was £13pcm, economy is around mid to high 30's and is petrol
