Anyone bought a new car recently?

[j2 lot]

I had been looking at an Enyaq ( where do they get the names) but 7 seats suited the circumstances. Your fleet ticks all the boxes.

Mrs B has had a late Yeti now for 2.5yrs for carrying the 2 golden retriever boys, and it's a brilliant thing for skip runs etc too

Sadly our trusty wee Citigo got written off in January when someone ran into the back of it in the Scottish Borders

As mentioned in the winter tyre thread, we’re one less member of the Skoda appreciation society now.
Our Octavia vRS which we bought new in April 2011 died on Feb 22. High pressure fuel pump disintegrated which left it beyond economical repair.

Had to find a replacement in a hurry and since I now have the F31 335d we didn’t need another big car for the wife so found a nice little 5dr Cooper Sport. 1.5 3 cylinder which sounds nice and has ‘enough’ poke but even the wife complains that it’s a bit slow sometimes so in hindsight a Cooper S might have been better.
It had the toys she ‘needed’ though (heated seats, LED lights, climate) and it is a really great little car to drive.

They chip to 170bho no problem.

I always found ours nicely torquey though and didn't chip it. Thank if I'd known it was going to be my fault for 2.5 years and not 2.5 months, I would have.

Bought a Honda e for the commute. Sorry to see my Golf R Estate go but loving the e and not regretting it one bit.

If I can get the Mrs to swap the XC60 for an Estate next time I’ll be happy.

Looks very similar to my S. We test drove a Cooper and thought it was sufficient, but decided we wanted the extra punch of the S, realistically, the Cooper is probably enough, and won't have the torque steer of the S if you do decide to to play with it, which I don't find too desirable really.
Having had it for a few years now, I'm still impressed at how well it drives, how well put together it feels, and how practical it can be for a fairly small car too.

Having now completed flipping our fleet which started with me buying a GR Yaris and Ruth swapping the Golf R for a Range Sport and finally me when I retired the GR.



First up was the Yaris. Very special little car.
