I've been thinking about changing cars for some time now but I needed to make sure any decision that I made wasn't clouded by the trauma of the last 7 months. I also needed to make my mind up about whether to keep Jane's car or not. She loved her Smart Car however I don't need it and therefore I've decided that when I change the Skoda Yeti the Smart will go with it. A fresh start...

The next car will be another 4x4 with everything the Skoda has. If given a choice I would simply buy a new Yeti however the higher powered Yeti (185 bhp) is no longer on offer and I do like a bit of acceleration - having owned an Audi TT and a Porsche Boxster there is still a need for speed even if it's in the shape of an SUV.

So the range of cars available is significant and I've whittled it down to six:
