hi there just joined the forum posted this on newbie section but thought might be better here , my names mark 54yrs young from uk.
I passed my test only 18 months ago late in life but passed both theory and practical first time. 9 previous scooter , bike rider)
I have been driving a Peugeot 107 that I purchased from friend nice reliable car was low mileage when purchased and has never missed a beat in the past year.
I kind of got thinking of wanting something a bit more refined and have always admired the 500s.
I am currently deciding whether to buy a lounge 2014 that is cat c at 11,000 miles for 4,000.
I went to look at a few used at local dealer and he looked at me a little confused when I mentioned about the ride apparently being a bit harsh 9as if I had just dropped of mars kind of look) but I guess being a dealer he wouldn't be keen on admitting any weakness. I sat in a couple and I love the inside and outside , love the panoramic scenic roof , be nice to have a bit more refinement but I keep thinking about the harshness of the suspension > having just read the buyers guide on here it confirmed my fears that its a bit unforgiving. I want my next car to last me and don't want to regret the purchase. So I am just canvassing some opinions of day-day driving. here in Derbyshire we are plagued by speed bumps and pot holes and was wondering if my teeth are going to chatter every time I drive it. It is about the only thing holding me back. I know what your thinking go for a test drive , I tried yesterday at dealers but I think he guessed I was a tyre kicker. I could go and try the one I'm thinking of buying but I am not very good at those kind of situations and wanted to get more of an idea before I did. I am presuming performance would be similar to the 107. The lounge is the standard 1.2 any opinions thoughts would be really appreciated. Thanks Mark.
