I think MOST manufacturers have lost the way on the design front now too tbh.

All of 'em are going for these enormous and horrendously ugly massive front grilles now, have you noticed? dreadful...imo. Take Audi for instance...if you must, as if they haven't got enough problems already with that image issue now too.

Depends what sort of motor car you want really Wilkiomondo lad? Lexus always rate very highly in the JD...or whatever they're called, Power survey. Toyota are pretty good on reliabilty, but if you just want basic down to earth VFM, I rate good ole James Mays fave, Dacia!  At the minute I want anything but mine! It’s cost me a small fortune this year so something a bit cheaper to fix would be nice. Has to be big enough for the dog too even if he is old and might not last too long. There’s lots out there so knowing what’s best is hard. Petrol or diesel is another question. I think I might just do enough mileage for a diesel but am worried what might happen with the tax on them. Liking the look of the Pug 3008 today. I like French cars for their adventurous designs, mainly Citroen. Never given me any problems in the past when I had them, but I appreciate the French stuff have got a poor reliability record, bit like the Italian stuff with dodgy electrics and flimsy interiors I’ve had Renaults in the past year it’s no major issues. Reputation for reliability isn’t great but I think most are a lot better now days even Alfa and Fiat. It annoys me that I can’t afford what I’d really like for an everyday car, a Focus ST estate. One of those with a Mountune kit would do.

I'd go for the Fiesta if it wasn't for the dog. Like I said, he's not going to last much longer but need something bigger until he goes.
