It's been a while....
....since I posted a thread on here.
I have upgraded my Chrysler 300c CDT SRT Design 2010 to a ........ Kia Picanto 1.1 2005 @£650 Mind you, I now owe the finance company £4000 for taking the Chrysler back TBH its like the Dr's Tardis. Small on the outside but very roomy front and back in the cabin. I am still looking for the cruse control switch and the heated seats button I must admit its a great little car for the miles I do ( up to 2K a year social only ) and a blast to drive And of course, in black and £20 fills the tank just over half way from empty. Happiness is in the eye of the beholder and I still have a roof over my head. My Harley Davidson has a bigger engine at 1600cc and gives me the thrills when needed. Take care all and be happy

Thanks Bob. I liked the look of the 75 auto with the optional meteors that is currently withdrawn but as you know it takes a bit of charge to turn these diesels over and for the short trips I do doesn't give the alternator a chance to replace the charge. Don't have a garage with electricity so a trickle charger is out of the question and I tried the solar ones with not much luck. Used a heavy duty jump starter the old one when needed with a jump start pack but you end up going through batteries after a while.
Take care

Hi Jay £4000 to pay back ouch.
Kia isn't a bad wee motor and will be a lot cheaper to run than the 300c.
