    Shame to exclude French. I'm on my 3rd Citroen picasso and love it. My boys are both over 6 foot 3!
    That's my Husbands choice on nothing French, it is a shame as Renault have some stunning colour cars - I know colour shouldn't be a factor but I can't help it

    I'd be looking at overall cost of ownership over, say, 5 years. Get something economical with 0 or £30 VED (tax) and fuel costs will also be low.
    That's what I'm hoping for, I'm expecting my mileage to be much reduced for the next 12-18 months, I had been doing 160 miles a weeks just for work but expecting to be only be in one day a week from August/September for some time.

    Thanks all, I have been considering increasing the budget and  having half from the savings and "borrowing" half from the savings until I get lump sum later in the year. 
    But I am going to try and sit tight for a bit and see what happens with the market, but now have a few more cars to bear in mind
