Time to change the car
It will be a sad week for me this week as I'll be saying goodbye to my old car. For the past year I've been driving around in a 2006 BMW 325i Tourer. A fantastic car for lugging the dog, kids and all of their accessories around in. I was driving around 20 miles a week when I bought it, unfortunately it isn't very economical and isn't suitable for the 1500 or so miles I drive on a monthly basis these days.
So, I've had to bite the bullet and got myself a nice sensible family hatch back. I chose a diesel Ford Mondeo. I'm not a fan of diesels due to the particulates but couldn't afford a petrol equivalent to buy or run.
It doesn't have sat nav but I have that on my phone. The stereo is pretty good which is a bonus as I listen to it a lot. It will also cost me a fraction of my current car to run. It's also incredibly roomy which is great for the kids in their booster seats.
