Re: And (none / 0)

I learnt to drive in a Yaris and really loved it. I'd love to have one but it wasn't in my price range, so it's hello Clio for me.

Re: And (none / 1)

I couldn't find any second hand! Didn't have long to look though.

Re: And, one more time.. (4.00 / 3)

...the Toyota Yaris is also manufactured in France, near Lille. Darn, we're.so.doomed...

Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way. Americans think a hundred years is a long time.

Re: And (4.00 / 2)

Fortunately, my old car had the grace to give up in the school holidays. I tracked the Yaris down on the internet, but it took some time. There was just one for sale, the age I could afford and the engine I wanted, within a 100 mile radius.

Fortunately, it was "only" about 30 miles away...

Re: And (none / 1)

I am happy with my SEAT Arosa, which I now had for 5 years.

Re: And (none / 0)

The Arosa, along with the Twingo and the Cinquecento are the three cars that keep catching my eye, even though I'm not in the market for one. And maybe the Suzuki Alto.
