Think this would be the easy bit...then you'd have to convince Toyota to make an electric Rav!! Toyota already have - but they've called it the bZ4X ... and it's quite expensive!  Yes I should have said Hybrid rather than electric but to my old dilapidated mind  they are the same.  |

We are just in the process of buying a trailer for the M/H and need a little car to go on it. This car will also cover for the RAV as it is now at 19 years old, getting long in the tooth, but still a faithful companion!
So looking for a mild hybrid Suzuki Ignis. It fits the bill for weight, runs on fumes, and comfortably seats four. Around 19000€ for a GLX auto, but can I find one here in Spain to buy!

Loads of Ignis round here. We have a Suzuki dealer in Cirencester and I see them all over.
Son has a petrol version and seems pleased with it.

Gave the little Yaris a service over the weekend - really loving this car now, be lost without it tbh. Cheap, cheerful and runs like clockwork.

The little Yaris is looking for a new home if anyone is interested.
Will do a proper For Sale thread at the weekend but everything works, 50 mpg, a superb daily driver.

So, we decided against selling the Yaris - it really has become part of the family and does the daily stuff so cheaply and well. Think we'd be lost without it tbh.

I sincerely hope you get them both sorted fast and at reasonable cost. BUT seeing as M.B. AMG badges are involved.......it might be a large Ouch.
( Is it easy to get another Mortgage or Bank loan in the UK these days? )

Bad week, managed to break both cars!! Drop links on all model varients of the MX5 are very suspect. Noisy as hell but cheap to fix parts inexpensive 👍 |
