Congrats on that. We're considering a VW Polo for the middle daughter - she's learning to drive and saving for her first car. Likes the look of the Polo.
On the Mazda 2, we bought a base Neo sedan (auto) 4 and a half years ago for the elder daughter. Great little car, hasn't really missed a beat and done about 120,000km. We're down to one Ford now, just the Escape - another great vehicle that we're very happy with! All the best with the Polo, would be good to get some initial impressions from you once you take delivery. Cheers,

Nope, our Escape is the superseded model; early 2017. It’s a Trend with Tech Pack and power tailgate. I had an order in for an Escape Vignale since last December but date kept being pushed back. I ended up canceling and sold my Mustang for a lot more than the trade-in price which I thought wasn’t too bad in the first place.
Happy Motoring!

I just test drove a manual 500 for $3k... The model has been here that long just get an older one and drive it. They are no different.

2014. 200k+ as it was a country commuter. Same thing I will use it for. I am 50/50 on it. Fun to drive.

Thats an interesting proposition.
3k for a 2014 Fiat 500 with 200000kms. Me thinks too risky! Yeah wife picks up Polo tomorrow. (novated lease thus no trade) Now have to get her old car sorted for sale. 2012 Fiesta. Crashing over the slightest bumps off to an Indy on Thursday shocks maybe or engine mount the local Ford dealer thought when I chatted to them. Should I buy 4 new hubcaps (3 have lost their gloss and turned white!) and a new rear Ford badge which someone stole -$250 from Ford for 4 hubcaps and a Ford badge. No Ford wreckers where I live, |

The hubcaps will come up fine with a rattle can of paint.
