My car misses the £30 band by 3g/km but I knew that when I bought it and for the sake of 30 extra bhp/60 extra lb/ft I knew it would cost me a little more to tax.

Can't believe I've had the car nearly a year

Think my Punto is £120 per year which isn't too bad seen as it's a revvy petrol.

I wish I bought a Zetec S TDCi or saved for something.

Tax due end of October. It's the first time I will only put 6 months on it as I can't afford more.

TBH it doesn't really bother me what price it is, if I had the car that I loved that cost t£250 or whatever it is I'd pay it. I just wouldn't buy a car that sat in that £400 band out of principle!

The Punto is a hoot some times so I don't mind. Harsh suspension was annoying me. But had a go in a colleagues Eleganza Punto (comfy 'Ghia' model) and it wasn't much better.

It's an automatic boat that's pretty comfy, I hate the way it looks but it's a peice of piss to drive. It has cruise control, air con and a stereo that plays KISS100.

If you don't like it thats fine but I don't mind it!
