Can anyone give me advice re changing car?

UPDATE::
We have part exchanged the zafira. We have gotta wait around 2 weeks for new one though as we have a private number plate that we have gotta get changed over.
We have had a Renault Megane 1.4 extreme. Our insurance has gone down by £200 a year, tax difference £230 from when ours would have gone up to £430. Does 40 mpg compared to the 20 mpg that the zafira does. We managed to get £4500 for the zafira and paid £6000 for new car which is an 06 reg.
Done ok I think. :j :j0 -
Pretty good result in the end, much lower risk regarding failures and your sure to save on fuel. 40mpg is the official combined figure, if you get 30mpg+ on your driving conditions you'll be doing really well, if you see the same % drop as on the Zafira it will be 26/27mpg. Still a good saving though.:D0
