The practicality of the 5 door would be good, but you need Abarth trim to make the looks acceptable IMO, MY04 has been an improvement, as all 5doors are now fully colour coded. 3 door with black rubbing strips looks ok, but the 5 door just doesn't quite pull it off.

True, but it was a joint decision between me and the mrs, even though I bought her the Ulysse last year. She liked everything about it as well, 5 doors, colour, whereas I was looking at under the bonnet.
I also didn't want to buy new again, so this one, with 16k on the clock and 2 y/o did seem pretty ideal.
Still, a cracking car. Hopefully it will remain that way, I am expecting the odd niggle along the way.

I reckon next I won't buy brand new again, let someone else cop the depreciation! With getting mine cheap, I thought I wouldn't lose too much, but I still reckon I've lost a couple of thousand on it. Only trouble when I bought mine was there weren't many JTD's kicking around second hand, and the couple I did see were in dearships for not much less than I paid.
Stick up some pics of your back garden Stu, I'm intrigued now

Cracking car Stu.
Our focus is three years old and due for replacement in the new year.
You've got me thinking.... mmm

I was in the same boat when I came to buy the Ulysse - getting the big discount from new was the only option, because back then the Ulysse was [and still is] a rare beast. However, we do intend to keep it a few good years, considering annual mileage about 10k a year. That is the cost of motoring, I suppose.......James M said:I reckon next I won't buy brand new again, let someone else cop the depreciation!

Oh and about your lawn, I love lawn mowing!

Paul, if you're ever in NI call into my house. The grass hasn't been cut in weeks, you'll really enjoy yourself in my garden!
Will do, i love mowing - I really honestly do. My grandpa's garden is huge and I spend hours making it perfect with lines using the roller etc. and cut to a perfect height, tomorrow is my afternoon for it I love the power of the engine (imagine what I am like in a car!) and the challenge of doing it perfectly...
The two jobs I would love to do are mowing and policeman.

You could be a special policeman that goes around mowing peoples lawns just like the policeman in Noddy did!
*begins searching internet for mowing policemen careers*

really the policeman in noddy did that - lol how insane
Oh he was a very helpful policeman. Admittedly I never actually seen him mowing a lawn, but I imagine he did!

That be some active imagination thenSteve C said:. Admittedly I never actually seen him mowing a lawn, but I imagine he did!
Yes, it's born from having too much time on my hands to think about these things.
