    I agree Ali, the interior lets down what is overall a great looking package

    Having been offerered a decent settlement figure (after a bit of debate) I've got 2k as a starting point for a replacement.

    Herein lies the problem ............. where the hell do I pitch my spending. I could opt for a 5k loan & limit myself to 7k. 5 door cars that I've looked at recently that fit the bill are :

    2013 Fiesta Zetec Diesel
    2013 Seat Ibiza FR Diesel
    2012 VW Polo Match Diesel

    Do I really need a diesel as I only cover 12k per year or do I just like em?

    However I could opt for the PCP route & get a newer car (MINI Countryman anyone) but I've never been here before. Are MINI any good on APR, does it depend on the type òf car & are MINI flexible with their deals?

    In a word ...... HELP!!

    We have a batch of 66 Plate Delivery Mileage MINI One Countryman (old Shape) with Pepper Packs available on PCP at £239 Deposit £239 Month. if that is of interest. Most of these cars are held in Giffnock stock

    You are just around the corner from us in Giffnock so if interested pop in and see the team. or alternatively let me know and i will put you in touch with the Manager to ensure you are looked after.

    We are advertising these cars in the Daily Record Motoring supplement in tomorrow's edition for your information.

    Current APR rates on new MINIs are around 5.9%. The above delivery mileage Countryman offer is 6.0% APR

    Cheers for all the advice peeps, always good to get other folks thoughts.

    Unfortunately anything (newish) MINI & the cracking Fiesta 1.0 are out with my budget as I've trimmed my top end to 6K and I've decided to buy outright as opposed to going PCP. The good news is that I've found a wee beasty for me, Aila (granddaughter) & Alfie (Westie dog).
    For less than my budget I've bought a 2014 Corsa Sri, red 5 door with 30k, one owner & fsh. Picking the car up next Tuesday & will attempt to post pics lol
