Next Car - Audi or Volkswagen

Still waiting on the insurance for the car, though just seems like I am waiting for somebody senior enough to make the decision.

Anyway, spent some part of the weekend looking at cars.

Visited Audi, as usual it's not very helpful place to go. A bit of a snobby place to be honest and then I couldn't get to drive a car. Also the place is full of cars the regular guy isn't going to buy. There were 2 R8's and then Q7's, S6's.

The A4 Avant looks very nice but I was actually more impressed with the Passat CC. I hadn't realised this car existed until I saw it in the showroom. We were looking at the Passat estate, but this car really looks fantastic. It is a four door coupe with 4 seats. The car looks a bit like a Merc.

So can't make up my mind between an A4 Avant and the Passat CC.

Update on water

Well heard the inevitable news from the garage, that the cost of the repairs make the car classified as a CAT D loss - i.e. roadworthy, but un-economic.

I guess the running chassis can be sold for a decent amount - but a 2nd hand engine and some of the interior - and you have a solid runner again.

Need to think about what's next.

The Volvo ownership hasn't been trouble free.
