BUT it is nice to have one for the occasional trip to the DIY superstore and also to visit family and friends all over the country.
Someone I know is getting rid of their 2YO Kia Picanto (now driving a sporty BMW offered by an in-law at an unmissable price) and has offered it to me. It only has 8K on the clock as it was used mainly for London-Glasgow trips to see the family.
I've been checking out the reviews and the road tests but the more feedback the better.
Especially from anyone in a fluorescent jacket who's had to attend one in an emergency!:) ;)
