I'm sure you have many many healthy years ahead so you will outlast even the most solid of carsJust a prospective buy, David, depending on whether it's likely to outlast me or not

Aaaahh ok then....
You have just proved my point. Only one is needed, the rest are unnecessary. You have to much money, give me some.
Nice! That is a big old barge, prob fit a small bike shop in it.
I looked at the Logan when me and Mrs P went to the dealership. On the test drive though the duster won it, plus I'm a tart for its looks
.Just got to work out how to fit my trike into it for next year's audaxing

Freaking love it!!
For such a tank, it costs considerably less to run than my old fiat panda!
It's generally all round lushness.
How are you finding yours???

Fab!
It's much quieter that it ought to be for a diesel, doesn't seem to use any fuel (eco mode), smooth ride, gearbox fine etc. Nice, light and easy to drive, bit light front end, quiet at 60/70 mph and Mrs FF likes it. The real test will be long distance comfort as the seats seem a bit short. The Stereo is good, it works on blue-tooth with the iphone. It has Sat-nav system which on 'MAP' tells you if you go over the speed limit which is pretty cool. The dog's not sure about being banished to the boot though!
OK it's a bit plasticy in terms of facia but all the touchables/ switchgear is Renault and of OK quality and feel and the steering wheel is leather.
Not yet tested the cruise control or limiter but again that's standard Renault fayre.
We're loving it!

[QUOTE 4000720, member: 45"]I think that's the issue. A lot of drivers aren't really bothered about how "nice" their car looks. Ours get washed when they get serviced, and they've never looked not nice or melted.[/QUOTE]
I'm with you, regarding cleaning cars, my Octavia gets washed when it rains
Granted, the windows, lights & registration plates get a wipe over when dirty (as do the wheels, but that's only to stop pad dust corroding the alloys - not for visuals)
It only looked like this on the day we bought it
This is its usual self
I do, however, keep the interior tidy/vacuumed/wiped, as that's the bit that matters to me
I'd still have one (saw one the other week advertised, but it was fully restored, & Tdi'd)

No, not I. Drove to Heathrow Tuesday.
You mean somebody else out there also has good taste and a sense of frugality!
