Getting Old
Just bought a Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost, thought about getting another Scooby but went with my head rather than heart. It was 11k, 2013 with 4k on the clock and I actually really like it. It's not to sluggish, pretty good on fuel and on £20 a year on road tax.
Never understand things like "£20 road tax" when spending ELEVEN THOUSAND pounds on something like a 1.0 Focus that'll drop value like a stone 
If you've got money to burn spending that much on a mundane car then £20 tax is the least of your worries.
The only real cheap motoring is something like an old nissan micra or honda civic that'll go on forever and has done it's depreciation. Or you could keep your cheap to run new car for about 60 years and you might about justify the purchase price and cheap tax in

If it didn't Scoobynet wouldn't exist
I drove a Toyota Auris hybrid the other day, I was quite impressed with it in electric mode.....but I felt dirty, like I'd been with ten Euro Dutch *****.
(no emissions check for MOT either...which is bonkers..what if the engine or cat is foobared?

after all of that ****, im back in a scoob again! and with a citroen c5 as a daily driver. so know how you feel about the fuel and cheap road tax etc
Don't these have ecu issues? Apparently they was waiting for an update as were non at the time of release and the dealers couldn't do anything but to fob customers off.
(Maybe update available now)

Correct as I've found out, mine went back in for a software update after a few days of owning the car, all sorted now.
