Re: Second Car
Thanks Krystof We were near the dealer this morning so dropped in to have a look. Wife's first words were "It's not that small is it". Grrr! After saying it's much smaller than the XC40 and more persuasion from me she agreed that was Ok. The interior is very nice and she really liked it so...

Re: Snows Volvo Southampton
I wouldn't hold my breath, leopards and spots spring to mind. I wouldn't be going back.

Re: Second Car
Thought about Mazda as one of our sons has a Mazda 2 which is a nice little car with a quality interior. CX30, whilst not as boxy as others is still a SUV and we don't really want another and I suspect to get the spec we want will be more than the Fabia? Mazda 3 is more what we are looking for but i...

Re: Second Car
Thanks eugen but we don't really want another SUV. Percymon, will look at alternatives but nothing much springs to mind as as I said want to stick to something simple enginewise. That Yaris Cross pricing is crazy. Could go for a cheaper car but don't want to go too small again, space in the back of ...

Re: Intro
I'll have to try and record mine.
As I've mentioned before I get like a traditional starter motor sound as it restarts, so far from quiet.

Re: Second Car
Bland doesn't describe it, it's damn ugly! Back and sides are generally Ok but then they spoil it with the front. Oversize grilles and narrow lights that just don't look right, no balance to them. That on the Tiguan has put me right off it along with that tablet on the dash. The designers can't even...

Re: Bristol port delay
VW had planned to do so late last year but it didn't happen so I guess it had a knock on effect with Audi.

Re: Intro
I'll have to get my checked out. It's very quiet when starting after being parked and after coasting and still moving but when stopped at lights etc. it makes a noise like a traditional starter motor when pulling away.

Re: Driving in France
My thoughts as well. Can't remember the last time I took spare bulbs and you'd need the necessary tools anyway! Lights are a lot more reliable nowadays and the taking of bulbs goes back many years when they were less so and easily changed. Fewer folks work on their own cars nowadays and that require...

Second Car
My wife drives the Volvo but often says it's too big and she misses her Mini! When I retired we sold it along with my Skoda Yeti and bought the first Volvo. I do have the TT as a second car though. Anyway we've been thinking about a smaller car for her again and will probably return to the VW Group ...
