Me too

To be fair, I've only been driving 300km to the cottage and 300 back. Rinse and repeat.
City driving will be nowhere near as good.

you drive the same car as your MUM! (shakes head...)

Mum's cool to be fair :D

And it's a good car. I didn't pick it... the Mrs did. I lost the rights to choosing when i wrote the last car off (it shouldn't have been a write off)

It’s also in a different planet in the price tag it’s now coming in at £105 thousand. Have had a CLS in the past, loved that car, now looking at a CLA Premium plus, all whistles and bells, I’ll tell you more after Thursday

please do, hope it's all you want

This year I bought a used Kia Sportage - 2021 so it’s the end of the old model. They’re a well built car and having the 7 year warranty means you can buy one that is a couple of years old and still have a few years left.
It’s not particularly exciting to drive - it’s very low geared which means for urban driving there’s a lot of gear changes. The interior is very roomy and would suit a family and the boot space is more than adequate. The infotainment system lets it down a little - it sounds good but the user interface is poor. Sat Nav is good and is free and easy to upgrade with a usb stick and you’ve got Apple play.
The car is pretty thirsty on petrol. My mileage is low so it doesn’t affect me too much.
Overall I would definitely recommend

Just out of interest mate, how did you go about updating the SatNav? My Sportage's system could do with it.

Thanks Bob. I'll have a look at it in full later but I think it's for an earlier model than mine.
