I thin Of course, we are all still students remember - all theory with zero responsibility and just enjoying life  Ok... I also drive a reasonable car! My buisiness car is a Skoda Kodiaq... Of course we all have to have something sensible to drive, I borrow my wifes Polo GTI which has more power than my Plus 8 but handles better and does twice the mpg  It's more interesting than my Fiesta Titanium diesel which is very accomplished at going from A to B end of story ..... p.s. My neighbour has the 1.0ltr Kodiaq and he loves it. I think a little Polo is much more acceptable than any SUV My excuse for my "huge" 150 HP SUV is that I need it to save fuel ...... when I use it to transport my 4/4 on my trailer to vacation destinations   Brilliant and spot on with the thread

Went for a test drive in an XC40 and after a mile it was like driving the A3 - but went for the Q3 Sportback but basically all modern quality cars are fantastic and I have not had a fault for the last 8 years in three cars - keep fingers crossed!

Thanks for the clarification Rich. I obviously misunderstood your drift if you know what I mean!
If I could post a suitable imogee thingummy I would do but I don't seem to be able to transpose these in the full text editor for some reason.

Guilty as charged m'lud, recently went from an A3 Sportback to its jacked up crossover Q3 Sportback with a slightly larger footprint. Great car though - glad I went for it.
Perhaps one should define the difference between a cross-over, which is largely the modern replacement for a station wagon, and something that has twice the weight, a big engine to power it, and is more akin to a commercial vehicle or a light truck than it is to a car.
