Okay. How did it all start when you got your car. What made you want a car?, what were you looking at?, how have you been able to afford the car you wanted?.
Here's my story.
My micra (which i had owned for a year), was getting a little bit to uncomfy for the mileage i was doing, and i was also being made fun off for owning it (18 year old, bright purple 05 micra = not good).
So i decided to start looking for a new car at the end of may. I decided to limit myself to about a 1.6 engine as i still needed somthing reasonable to insure. I found a few high mileage Astra's, Corolla's, Civic's etc, but these were either lower trim levels, or only the 1.4 engine. Which would have hardly any power at all.
It was only by luck that i found the Stilo which i now own , 1.9JTD Dynamic, all the toys required plus a few more. It looks awesome on its abarth bodykit and 17 inch wheels (with skyroof as well).
I went to view it at 1pm on the Saturday, and decided that it was the car for me once sat inside (and after a test drive). Me and my mum went away thinking about it, and 1 hour later my deposit was put down. My car was then locked away ready to be valeted and prepared for collection the next week. That week i kept stum at work about the fact i was getting a new car just to surprise everyone, and when i turned up in it in the car park everyone was stunned .
It is an awesome car and i wouldnt want to change it for the world. Except maybe a remap in few months
