Lily it's all changed.
You're allowed to do 60,000 miles in 3 years now, so if you wanted to go for another one, unless your mileage is stupid, you would probably be ok.
We looked at Ford, Fiat, VW and Mazda. The Ford was ok, but as we want parking sensors fitted that was really going to bump the price up. It's one saving grace was a heated front screen (we've had one of those before and they are wonderful), but other than that it was pretty basic.
The VW was basic, and parking sensors were nearly £400!!!!!!!!
It's a toss up now between a Punto and a Mazda 3. We're going for test drive in both tomorrow and will make a decision then. The Punto has a better spec (and parking sensors are included) but the Mazda is a bigger car with a decent spec.
Whichever one we have, it will be two to three months before we can pick it up because they are so in demand for motability.
I'll let you know which one we go for.
