I saw a white car on the M40 tonight that made me look twice.
More than twice actually. I even slowed down and changed lanes to look at it from more angles.

One part of my brain said "what are you doing man, this is not the sort of thing we look at, move on"
But the other said "hmmm, I think I like it. Not sure why though. But yes, I do like that".

Scroll down to view the object of my fascination. I've already donned my flamesuit biggrin

I also like them, I would never buy one, but do think they are good looking cars.

Why flame suit??

I think it looks striking and certainly more fun and more interesting than pretty much any VAG vehicle of similar or even double the money.

The 1.6 TD goes pretty well too, is good on fuel and even pretty decent in the corners.

Pretty good car in fact, much less objectionable than a MINI.

Kia Soul.

They do some odd trim levels. Quite funky in a Nissan Cube type way.

Yep. Also cheaper, faster, more powerful, more economical, better drive and more spacious than a friends SEAT Ibiza.

Someone on my estate has one in cream, which I think looks a little silly - but this pure white suits it. I like it for the "this is what we're gonna design, love it or don't buy it" thinking.

You're lucky, flamesuit not needed after all wink

For some reason I have found myself drawn to the idea that the 2.0tdi version of the ibiza would be a good small car for doing big distances in if I was planning to buy new.

I think I prefer this to the kia though.
