    Had a Y plate X-type 3.0L V6 manual for 9 years and 180k miles, loved it. Found the S-type too wallowy.

    Currently have a Focus 1.5L 150bhp in my downsized retirement, practical. Insurance renewal was up 60%! Cheapest alternative quote >50%. Mrs Lincs has a Fiesta 1.0L ecoboost, nippy enough. Fiesta being discontinued which is a shame as has been safe choice for second car for several iterations.

    I don't know, the last time I gave it a bit of a run I got about 12 mpg, I think.

No Beamer, no Lexus; lucky to be permitted a Land Rover. And there's a G-Klasse and a very old VW mobile home, from back when I used to campaign.

    I still use the old Freelander 2. Great engines and great for the hounds on muddy days

    Insurance.

    Just renewed mine for the Skoda.

    Was £300 last year. Quoted renewal at £500.

    Got cover for £450. No claims made...

    Robbing ****s.

    Any thoughts on the new Lexus LBX, SC?

    Well, quite. It's all made in Hong Kong nowadays, I think.

    The Vectra is horrible to drive but it does at least work.

    I fancy the X type but whenever I go for a car I really fancy it tends to blow up in my face. Same with women.... better off sticking to the ugly but practical ones
