Personally I have always known what I wanted next roughly halfway through whatever I already had and loved the "hunt" however I have always struggled with Mrs DSLs car - she arrived in my life with a Polo Match that did no miles as she lived in London, after that we got a Dodge Caliber as it was good value and she doesnt care what she drives, she loved it being different hence once the kids came along she graduated to a Dodge Nitro again stonking value and again she loved it but the fuel bill was £££.
So after working out we didnt need a van on wheels and as she had stopped working / was travelling light we got a Zoe because it was so cheap you had to have one.

So today for 2 years of super mini / mini mpv use we are looking £6k+ (HAS to be auto) pcp or lease and in many cases far more - I cannot stomach £6k after paying £3600 for the Zoe.

Now my gripe is its very very hard to compare car costs unless you are buying cash - low deals vanish when an auto is selected So any tips on finding another Zoe type deal ?

Glad we were able to help!

I do keep thinking about the Alltrack lease glitch guys - that's going to be painful to replace.
