This obsession with appealing to the young buyer of everything from BBC to National Trust, to M&S to car manufacturers is beyond me. Basically young people don’t have the disposable income of many older folk - and boy do they enjoy telling us that we stole their future - many older people now have the money to buy better things so why aren’t we offered them? T-Cross etc sized cars are ideal for us but we want the luxuries not the basics.

Yup, I stopped watching the "woke" BBC some months ago!

 

A bit left field but a friend has just got a Honda Jazz Crosstar, the Crossbar seems to come with all the extras included, I haven’t seen it yet but it has a raised driving height (haven’t checked what 'raised' means in this case) and is a hybrid offering up to 60 MPG. Road Tests are encouraging - anyone else seen/looked at one? New on road so not many around as far as I can tell.
