New WRX or New CTR or........
New car time is upon me and I just can't make my mind up 
I have got it down to 3 motors
New WRX
New Honda CTR GT
New Nissan X-Trail Aventura 2.2DCi
My head hurts already and I have not driven the 2.5L WRX yet
Thoughts so far......
Honda is a great drive and feels very well planted. It should be reasonable on fuel if driven 'normally' but the cabin felt a bit cramped and I did not like the position of the speed readout (although the tachometer is superb). To have any fun at all you have to be doing over 6K revs and I don't know if that's a good thing.
Nissan has everything I want - Leather, climate, DVD Sat-Nav and lots of space that will be great for summer holidays to France as well as airport runs and trips to B&Q.
Test driving WRX tomorrow

there's something about the new ctr, I seen my first one parked up the other day and had to stop to take a look, I dont usually stop and look at cars (honest) it looked very funky indeed, allthough the standard wheels looked boring and tiny, they didnt fill the arches very well, but the rest of the car looked very fresh and stylish

Don't by the Nissan X-Trail turbo diesel as they are prone to turbo failure. I was considering buying one so did some research on the net. Turbo failure kept on cropping up. One guy was on his third. (the original and two replacements)

New WRX was a nice drive, but as the budget won't stretch to the STi PPP that I had last time I decided against it as I would never be happy with it just for that reason.
So, I ordered the X-Trail. As its new and I will only keep it a couple of years the warranty will cover any major issues.
