Due to Dad being unexpectedly out of work, we have to downsize from our Jaguar S-Type.
It all started when my Uncle very recently bought a new Honda Civic EX-spec (top of the range), and we kindly helped him out in the process. Dad was very interested in one for himself at the end of the day because of its radical styling inside and out and with the gadgets it has, so we've been looking and working out prices for the last week or so. After going to two dealerships, the second one made a much better deal, but having only one EX 2.2 Diesel model in stock until November - which by then the Jag would have lost another £500 trade-in value and you're still not guaranteed the exact specification you want. We decided not to be picky, and went for the very one they had for just £599.
Here it is:
From the test drive in various models, it's reasonably quiet, especially the Diesel motor over the Petrol one which was quite harsh. The suspension is pretty firm, but it's certainly better on the 17 inch wheels we have on this car compared to the 18 inchers that my Uncle has!
It should be here by Friday.
I can't wait to try out the new Sat-Nav and voice recognition system.

That's 599 quid with a Jag S-Type as trade-in, huh?
It's quite a bit more browny-bronze than that in person, though.
I couldn't find a picture of the diesel dashboard like that, so I stuck the petrol one there. I doubt a diesel would sound pleasent at 7,000rpm though.
