I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

C5-->C4 Ah understood.

If they'd made a C4 estate, then definitely would be under consideration now.

I did like my MK1 C4 5 door (though wished it was the 2.0 HDi 6 speed not the 1.6 HDi to be honest!)

P.s. Do not recommend loading a little trailer like that! Not actually that heavy, but weight high up = horrendous swaying as soon as got up to 55-60 on the M61!! Stopped soon as we could and reloaded the shortest lengths inside the car. Trailer was thankfully nice and stable for the rest of the 120 mile trip.

Undoubtedly a proper car! And a towbar too.

Deliberately a wider shot so you can see the little trailer is having a rest! :-D
