Accords have actually been short-listed and remain a possibility.....

I believe The Rev has a soft spot for those Civics too.

If you find a Civic or Accord thats been looked after and keep on top of maintance ...its probably going to easily outlive the rest of your driving career. Or at least until electric powered cars become mainstream and cheapily affordable.

Good point about the driving career.....Mrs Rocker is 71, anything that can do a ten year stint (as the last 190E did) will effectively be her last car. Scary thought, that actually, but worth the reality check.

Spend a hundred or two on the focus you have. It's a known quantity and technically you'll just be buying someone elses shit at that price. Plus mrs rocker knows the car. Why spend 4k when for a few hundred you'll be sorted.

It is always exciting getting the opportunity to buy a new car though.

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

Volvo 940? Old enough to be interesting, modern enough to just be a car.
