A driver from the side road on my left (who was waiting to turn right) pulled out in front of me. I believe they pulled out because a driver coming in the other direction flashed to let them out. But I hadn't as the road…

01(51)Suzuki Ignis 1.3 (3dr) or 02 Daihatsu YRV 1.3 (5dr)
I've had an Ignis in the past and loved it, so am inclined towards this - but it only has 3 doors. Normally it will just be 2 of us (with a wheelchair), but if family come and stay (2 or 3 weeks at a time), they are in their 80s.... so 5 dr better. Ignis = £600 (private), YRV = £900 (dealer). Any ideas? :huh:
