But it's an estate.... Have I ever mentioned I don't like estates?
...but yes, SXi and Sri seats are much better!
Really just interested in people's thoughts and experiences of cars that meet the criteria and, just like the current daily, the sort of cars that you don't worry about when they suffer the battle scars of daily life.
It's in the water I tell you...
Dad was a teacher and had a run of modest cars, R5, Sierra, R19... and having written off the last two, was looking at another R5
His driving was occasional weekend running around, a 3,000 mile 3-4 week trip every summer holiday and a fortnightly commute from rural North Norfolk to central London, so say a round trip of 250 miles... and most of this was motorway or fast A roads.
I suggested that he bought a car more suited to longer journeys as that was fundamentally how he used the car. He conceded this point, as he had never looked at it that way. Subsequently he bought a Granada Scorpio and got a few years good use out of it, only getting shot when it was written off in a pile up on the A11. He spent a few days in Addenbrookes, but was otherwise fine and extremely thankful that he hadn't gone with the R5. He replaced it with a further Granada and then a late Scorpio estate, only buying a small run around when he finally retired and stopped doing the mileage.
Point is, if you're going to be spending time doing serious distances, then buy a suitable car.
