So... I bought my wife a Chevy.

[pandamonium]

Well... sortof.

 

She is happy, the Swift is gone and I spent a lot less than I anticipated!

 

Apparently I can have the change to spend on shite for myself!!

 

I can report that the Tacuma is actually quite nice to drive, and has oodles of space.

[retrogeezer]

Looks pretty tidy, in a silver sort of way! How much was that then?

[pandamonium]

£795 plus the Swift, which was to be fair, worthless as the MOT was almost out and had several oncoming faults.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

You might have got it for 695 without the swift, ha ha!!Only joking. Good shite people mover, is it another vauxhall floorpan?

[pandamonium]

I doubt it, It feels more like a Renault Scenic

[AnthonyG]

Just knew this would be a Day-woo!

[pogweasel]

Good grief!!!!

[Lankytim]

Let us know how you get on with it. I like it. ish.

[barrett]

boarderline racism alert, but do you not think it look a bit like a Chinese bloke with a moustache from the front?

[Milford Cubicle]

 

It looks ok to me! £795 sounds good value for a newish mini mpv

[fiatdaft]

no really an mpv as they are only 5 seaters,more like a tall hatchback,just like a golf err plus!

[Pete-M]

Good grief!!!!

 

+1.

 

Still, for £795 and a shagged Suzuki it's almost disposable, and it's better than a Peradua

 

Knowing these things, it'll probably be near as damn it bombproof for a while

[pandamonium]

You two really are the most miserable buggers on here aren't you ( Pog n Pete )I think it is perfectly acceptable and sortof qualifies as futureshite. Lets face it, she was never gonna choose a Talbot Tagora or a Wolseley 1800 as a sensible family car, so you'd not have liked whatever I'd posted!

[Milford Cubicle]

They both own BMWs.

[pandamonium]

That explains a lot.

[pogweasel]

I wouldn't expect her to desire 'classic' shite, but I would also expect protestation at the "opportunity" to pootle about in strange-looking stuff from Korea. Fickle beasts.

[Pete-M]

Hey, c'mon. I was nearly being nice about your Dae<< Chevy

 

It's not diesel is it?

 

Oh, you'll hate this

Right, so a Scenic's not an MPV then? The two back seats in a Zafira are fucking awful anyway.

so are 5 seaters considered mpvs? depends on how old you are regarding the zafira rear seats,i like how everybody uses the vauxhall analogy with me,considereing i'm not a fan of them.

Depends on what car it is. If it's tall and has obviously been done in an MPV style, then yeah, it's an MPV. You can get a C4 Picasso with 5 and 7 seats, is the 5 seater not an MPV then? Is it like a C4 but not a C4? Confused I am.Sorry about the Vauxhall reference. I'm 26 if that helps, and I think the back two seats in a Zafira are shit. The MPV \ non MPV classification was trotted out by a Vauxhall salesman when fatha_wat had his Scenic, and matey didn't class that as an MPV for the same reason. I put 2 and 2 together and got 19.

[dollywobbler]

I think 5-seater large hatchbacks are generally Mainly Pointless Vehicles, rather than Multi-Purpose. Ok, so the boot space looks enormous, but it tends to be only good for tall stuff. GR8 4 GR8 DANES!

[seth]

GR8 4 GR8 DANES!

Or short Danes?

 

[vicsmith]

That`s got to be one of the maddest-faced cars of recent years, livens up any traffic jam, that sort of thing. Being a Daewoo it`ll have nice seats, be a nice drive, and not give much grief, all that plus a mad front end, sounds alright to me.

[Richard]

so are 5 seaters considered mpvs?

Yes. I thought you were in the trade.

[pandamonium]

The boot is huuuuge in the Tacuma, length, width and height. It was chosen specifically to accomodate a pushchair once we eventually expand the panda household.

[fiatdaft]

so are 5 seaters considered mpvs?

Yes. I thought you were in the trade.

ahh right ,so will start describing corsa's as mpvs now.
