Great.

I have to admit that I've started to look at cars that are enjoyable, sufficiently reliable, and not too expensive to fix if they go wrong.

My Yaris has the benefit of a 10 year warranty, but consumables are a bit spendy; £960 + fitting for front disks for example.

Mrs Gyp's MX5 is actually not bad and (touch wood) seems to be lasting with just scheduled maintenance.

Wondering if, when I get the Superb back I ought to chop it in for an Isuzu D-Max, though that's not what you might think of as a traditional estate car.
