You think that's bad? We just moved into a bigger house that is taking WAY more money than we thought to get it fixed. We were just sitting down figuring out how much we still need to spend (and we are not doing anything fancy) and it was about another £65k....including this new car minus trade-in etc. Basically....we are practically burning money the last few months. We probably should have just stayed in our old house which was in good shape.....fools.
Yep. Not very far though....quite a bit more expensive and rather ugly to us. About £6k more for the lowest priced.
What would you consider ''within driving distance''?
Yeah, that's kind of my thinking. Citroen seems to be moving up in dependability.....but I can't quite believe it yet. The Toyota had too many gadgets on it....but nowadays you just don't have any choice. I really want a dash like the old Mini Clubman I had years ago......speedometer, gas gauge and a couple of warning lights. That's all I need. Beeping crap all the time is really annoying. I don't need lane assist....I actually watch the road when I drive, or auto stop, or beeping when you go 1 mph over the limit.....you evidently can turn them off going through the screen, but what a pain from the EU. The only real negative about the Yaris Cross is that they have had dead battery issues if you don't drive very much.....and I don't.
To me.....less than 30 min to the dealer. The Skoda place in York is about 40 min, and as mentioned earlier my trip there a couple of years ago was pretty bad....could have just been a bad day on their part I guess. The one south of Leeds is 50 min according to Google maps.
I turn the auto engine stop and lane departure off every time I get in the car. Need to hold the lane departure/something in front of you warning button for 5 seconds.....annoying, but it's less annoying to me than it going off every time I weave around a parked car.
I have the same distance issue with the same two dealers re my SEAT.

If the Citroen is the same as the similar Peugeot 2008 it is a simple which under the main dash which you can leave on or off without having to do it every time
There are a lot of people online now looking for ways around the constant beeping which I think comes into effect for model year 2025 on pretty well everything. I've been told that with the Toyota you can turn it off but will have to go through the dash screen to pick it. I can understand with the EU has mandated this stuff....the amount of people I see driving and not paying any attention is getting worse all of the time.
Not any uglier than the Yaris Cross.
The upcoming Renault 5 has a programmable button. You tell it which features you don't want then tap the button twice when you get in the car and it switches them all off.
You should see me on the golf course.....I can be a bit....moody.Fred, are you always this mercurial?
