Hello everyone just to introduce myself and ask for help .. I currently drive an old mondeo estate petrol but we have in the last few years moved up from kent and now live out in the sticks in Western Scotland . Its a 50 mile commute to work each way through country lanes not a single traffic light along the whole way just loads of deer to avoid .. We have two big dogs one son and a baby being born on thursday if not before . I am looking at the vrs diesel or petrol estate but am undecided as to which one yet or do we wait for the superb estate , i enjoy driving also any advice or sites to look for in realtion to buying a new one please have looked at one site and got good prices for the cars but any more .. Thank you in advance for your help:thumbup:

All on advice and recomedation from me may I add. Welcome fella and enjoy

Hiya. On that sort of length of commute, get a diesel, and get a car with Xenons!

While you're here, be sure and check out the Scottish Owners' forum, and the Scottish dealers' review forum.

Yeah diesel sounds your best bet. Good luck for Thursday too.

hi and welcome
