This is the same council that licensed Tuk Tuk's http://www.cabdirect.com/news_resources ... ws.cfm/544 I never trust a company that doesn't display its prices in plain view.

The more you have the more it will cost. The quality must be there to justify the price it's kinda me choosing between Primark or Karen Millen, there's no contest, but I don't need to buy everything from Karen Millen.

It's down to the purpose of the vehicle. At the end of the day they have the same shelf life and engine etc it's only the fancy trims that cost more.

I think the real problem with WAVs is the lack of choice & the price. The other issues are the terrible fuel consumption. Have you a pug 307 Toots? If so I bet its good for 50mpg average were as a typical WAV 30mpg. If you were licensing vehicles would you go force drivers to drive around cities in WAVs, when your boses were sending memos around the office about saving paper and cutting carbon. I think they all incompetant & would never get a job anywere else.

I drive a pug 407 zenith and a very nice pug it is too. I know a couple of guys who drive the E7 and they seem to think the fuel consumption is quite good on them but never having driven one I wouldn't know. I know mine is good for fuel especially when I get to use 6th gear :D

Quite like the shape of the 407, but they similar to mk1 Laguna with a long slope windscreen. Punters [mostly men] kept bashing there head on the door pillar as they entered the car [usually drunk]. :lol: :lol: I suspect your couple of Guys have changed to an E7 from a TX & I suspect they are impressed with the extra MPG. My point is that they are poor compared to say yours. They probably earn the same as you but they have to pay out more for fuel. Also your Pug even new was about 10k theirs 25k+. The Math dont add up.

My Pug new was 20k. I got it for 14k new. They have a longer life on the HC than I do on my saloon. The problem with people banging their heads is easily resolved by lowering the seat :wink:
