I've always had old cars, and I've never really had an unreliable one until that crappy Skoda. New cars have more to go wrong, can't be fixed DIY in most cases and cost the earth in parts and labour.
I get what people say about economy, but is the extra 5mpg an E90 does over a 406HDI worth an extra 10 grand or whatever? People say they can't afford a deposit for a house but yet they drive brand new cars, I hear it every day, and its madness.
And no offence JJ but it got annoying when you suggested a Vectra for everyone, or suggested someone put themselves in 10 grand of debt for 5mpg. People have different opinions, and I'll give mine. If yours differs, that's fine, I don't care. I love being debt free with 40k owing on a 140k house, and I could afford that because what most people spend on a new car when they get their first proper job, I bought a house.
Anyway, I've said my piece.
