Choosing a car
I spent an hour or so at the dealer’s today trying to decide on a new car. I think I will stay with Citroen. I like the slight Gallic quirkiness and the embedded technologies and have enjoyed driving my Picasso. The trouble is that Citroen have downgraded the Xsara Picasso range to make room for their new C4 Picasso – which is gorgeous, but bulky and expensive to buy and run – so a straight replacement is not an option. Also, I seem to spend most of my driving life in traffic jams so want to move to something a bit greener and fuel efficient, especially now that I am not transporting lots of teenagers around all the time.
I thought it might be the C4 but we spent some time looking at a C3. If you are going to downsize, you might as well do it properly (though the C1 or C2 would be going too far!). A decision in the next few weeks.
