Just Can't Decide

[R500POP]

The 500 is being replaced just as soon as I can make my mind up on what to buy, it's mainly a commuter car so comfort/economy important.

I can't decide between the following

Volvo C30 DRIVe
Volvo C30 2.0 D
Honda CR-Z
Fiat 500 D
Mini Clubman D

I like the look of the C30.

budget? Brand new, or demo/used?

Honda CR-Z is to ugly to drive, so thats got to be taken out of the list!..

There seems IMO little point replacing a dull cummuter car with ..... a dull commuter car. Might as well just keep on driving unless the 500 is either a rubbish car or hideously unreliable.

I like a change every 3-4 years.

What about the new Fiat 500 twinair - supposed to be a hoot and very economical too

Does your mileage justify the extra cost of a diesel and extra fuel cost of diesel as I can't honestly believe anyone willingly drives one.

It's also the best to drive out of that lot.

Depends what interests you in a car i suppose.

I realy like the look of the CR-Z

C30 if you're using it for commuting. Different and interesting to look at, comfortable to be in and very economical. Have been considering one myself to replace the missus' car.

[volvoforlife]

Volvo C30 2.0D (R-Design) would be my choice, naturally.

[R500POP]

Their is always the V40 too.
