    Daft isn't it! You may be safer if you're in an impact or end up on your roof, but there's more chance of it occuring in the first instance.

    My Mondeo is 9, not a new car. The design of it is about 12 years old. Yet it is more than capable of completely obscuring a Transit on a roundabout. :/

    As for my sisters 2012 Clio... :|

    I can imagine that. Looks huge on the road. Haven't seen the interior, but it's a great looking car imo.

    It will be interesting to see how they age. They remind me of when the first Focus was launched, they just seem to instantly date everything else on the road.

    Stupid fecking pedestrian safety shiz. I mean really, look at the rake of that windscreen! Those ridiculous little front corner windos ahead of the mirrors are useless at anything, may as well not be there at all.

    Hayley's Colt suffers from fat pillar sydrome, yes people wandering in the road will no doubt roll off it, but if you could actually see those people in the first place... Its also nigh on impossible to attach any sat nav to the windscreen as its so far away

    With my car only being from 2004, I got sick of the sat-nav carry on (out of date). So I use my phone, and had to purchase one of those stupid adhesive discs for the dashboard.

    I can now reach the buttons, and have a cleaner windscreen. Score.

    Downside is, some little sh!t may put the window through in the belief that a TomTom lives in the glovebox.

    I'm the same. Automatics too. Time and a place n all that.

    None are perfect though, and newer cars as we know are designed to feel as remote as possible.
    Do. Not. Like.

    Superb MPG, noise levels, equipment, bangin factory wireless etc are great though.

    I won't go all OMGNUCARZRSH1T Auto****e on you and state reasons why RCL (or even just CL) is crap and inferior to unlocking all doors with the key/interior handle though.
