Well, my Seat has served us well. Althought it's had its share of massive and expensive operations. I've paid multiple times its current price at the garage.

However it's a good car for a family of four plus a dog. Doesn't have a huge appetite, and is reasonably comfortable to drive. (The seats seem to be designed for a shorter person than I am, so I do get back aches if I have to drive a lot.)

The truth is I've been desiring a van for a while, to use as a photo studio on wheels.
