Ours preferred the back seat of the BM as snugger than the Forester and the survivor likes the Smart, Good point about lease not my style but ...

Surely the car industry needs to waken the market? Bold discounting would be one way. Otherwise tens of thou' unsold inventory.

People ain't gonna be so rich post pandemic, If ever that happens if not even more true.

Zoe aren't much cheaper to be fair but if i had to choose a small Honda just now it'd be an S660.

You've only got to look at the prices of a year old CR-V with MMD drive .... 40k new .... now well below 30k used.

25%+ in the first year is quite a hit if it's your pocket.,

S660 looks good am thinking of to replace the Smart BUT no room for the doggie. But she will die soon and boss doesn't want another ...
Weightwise little in it for towing by comparison. But if they beef up the engine for Europe will it stlll be called the S660?

I think you are right Unc, plus we all know how well Li Ion batteries last (or don't)

Your 140 mile range becomes 90 and you are that Leaf dude with range anxiety

I plan to look at lease deals, crunch the numbers and all that. CRVs are very pricey.. the HRV is a superior car to the kumkwat but the only decent motor is the turbo and they are new so ££

Not SUV enough for err indoors either

She thinks the CRV is too big. She drives a kwat+2 ffs

i had a Xsara VTR many years ago. Absolute turd, made of paper and balsa. Dude I sold it to wrote it off but tbh I wasn't surprised, the wind blew the door onto the wing once when the swing restrictor flexed. It had every peice of kit but was a peice of shit.

No Citroen
No Nissan
No ford (never owned one but always disliked)

I need to kick into a bit of in depth analysis now tho
