Adventures in car buying
Sunday 15th February 2009 4:49 pm

I thought deciding which car to buy would be simple. I thought I'd go and test drive a few, hate them all and then buy a Toyota Yaris.

Yesterday I drove a Ford Ka and continually failed to get first to second. This morning I drove a Toyota Yaris (where I continually failed to get the handbrake off because I was trying too hard), a Vauxhall Corsa (where the handbrake was too far back and the indicators were so quiet I couldn't work out if I'd turn them on or not), a Volkswagon Polo (which I hated on the basis that it had indicator lights on the wind mirror, when there is no need and it is annoying) and a Honda Jazz (in which I can move the seat too far forwards - I never knew such a thing was possible).

I liked the Corsa because it's like my car, I like the Yaris, except for the stupidly tiny boot space, and I like the Jazz for it's ridiculously big boot space. I liked the Toyota dealer because they found me a red one to drive.

It was only when I got back in my car that I realised how uncomfortable it is to sit in, how hard it is to drive, and how many ratting/squeaking noises it has (three rattles, two squeaking). So I definitely want a new car, I just don't know which one.

It doesn't help that I had a late lunch by the time I'd driven all these, so now I'm really sleepy. And my arms and legs ache from all the driving.
