The 90s are more manoeuvrable, but I think the chunky tyres were hampering the lock on this one. The visibility is a major plus compared to a lot of other vehicles!

We’ve got a couple of these in the family, an 08 and a 2010. The 08 has been with us from new with no real problems in almost 100,000 miles. A boost pipe replacing and that’s about it. Nothings fallen off or broken, with the exception of the dealer fitted side steps that rotted out. The 2010 was bought with 160,ooo…

In my experience I’d take a Renault over a Fiat.

We don’t need the bank holiday to do that.

CP. This thing is shady.

Out of the endangered list I don’t see the numbers of those declining massively in the future. Most are already regarded as classics, especially the 2cv/205/Sierra. I would expect to see the MR2 to see a drop in numbers as those figure include the first couple of years of the roadster, which are firmly at the bottom…

What cars end up registered as can be variable, even more so in the recent past.

Exactly what I was thinking. 

M3 mirrors were also a popular choice for the light fingered around that time too.

Yes! The milk from our farm goes to a local dairy that has a lot of them, and there are bigger players that operate nationwide. Mostly in glass bottles that are then collected, washed and reused many times over.

Yes, a friend of mine has one. A diesel manual even. She likes it, it drives just fine and the mechanicals are well proven. 

Suzuki seem to be doing fine, doing what they are good at. Small, cheap and honest cars and a selection of off roaders of varying ability. Not chasing a market they don’t have the models for is a sensible choice.

Well I picked one at random and it went to NP, so it must be.

I wish authors would stop ham fistedly converting prices to USD. Would save a lot of the “But it costs more than X!1oneelventy” rubbish. Yes, cars sell for different prices around the world, and are frequently quoted as including local taxes unlike the USA. Also manufacturers will vary prices depending on the local…

Small, cheap VW pickup? Do I have the vehicle for you! Even available with a diesel (Just don’t ask about the 0-60 time)

Thanks to this I found the v-max of a well loaded Renault Trafic is an astounding 98MPH. Woooooo.

My Aunt had a MK2 GTI in the early 90s. My only memory of it was being ferried to A&E in it after playing with scissors.

The price is OK, but the car looks shady.

It’s named after Christian’s Dad, Jesko.

This is exactly the same that the US does to (most)European travellers. Except that’s more expensive.
