Something smaller, more economical and less costly I guess I took a chance with the 159 but with my work situation and the rising cost of motoring I don't think it is viable. Plus my wife doesn't like driving it anymore ( - she prefers her Golf) so it is only me using it during the week to and from work. To me it doesn't make sense using the car just for this. I like the car a lot and would love to keep it but...........

So is it back to a 156 or a 147????????

Isn't science fun?!?! Eye think so!

a MiTo - would be verrrrrrrrry nice

but a 147 1.9 JTDm (05) would probably be more on the cards. better fuel economy, cheaper to tax and insure too
