If your thinking about a KIA look at the Optima. It's got the space and it's designed by the chap from Audi.

The 7 year warranty doesn't apply to Taxis, I've looked into it. :D

nope. £7k is for the car. The policy im intending to pay off on a monthly basis with what I earn (from both my "real" job and PH'ing). Until im comfortable enough to quit the full time job.

as you like record keeping try a true record of MPG (you can look up various cars too before buying)
