Time to change the Lex - deckie77 - 15-05-2018
Been thinking about a change for a while now, 2 1/2 years of the lex has been good, but couldn't really find something i wanted to replace it, then building my extension needed alot of cash thrown at it so plans were put on hold.
Now it has to go because i finally gave in to the wife & kids after years of pestering me to get a dog, a puppy found it's way into our house, and there is no way it's getting to leave hairs all over the seats of my car, and the wife wont let me put it in the boot:confused1:.
The old Pajero i have will cart it around for now, but with the extension coming on i will be selling the jeep as it's job will be finished.
I'm not old enough for a Estate, and i dont want a big Jeep, Rav 4's & X3's are decent sized but expensive, been warned off Freelanders, so it looks like a large hatch will be on the cards.
So as we all enjoy spending other peoples money, any recomendations for 5 door hatch's, big enough to accomidate a Chocolate Lab, and still have sporty look's & a few toys, for £9K, diesel or petrol, insurance is no problem any more, fire away

I'd have the is300 sportcross, failing that if ur not convined about the auto what about the is200 sportcross?
Subaru impreza wagon?

The sportcross doesn't look right to me (sorry if you are reading this and own one) I had thought of impreza wagon and mazda 3 MPS, http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201025361931715/sort/priceasc/usedcars/price-to/10000/model/mazda3/make/mazda/postcode/ab452px/page/1/radius/1500/keywords/mps?logcode=p
Seems alot of car for not alot of money, think paying 425 quid a year road tax is crazy, same for impreza wagon (which i do not think looks anywhere as good as a saloon with a spoiler) and feul would be a fortune aswell, think of the 2 it would be the mazda

Do what I did. Try and sell the Lexus privately, give up, and buy a cheap 51 reg Honda Civic. Keep the Lexus for best, wife and kids are happy, as well as chocolate lab. Job done.
