It's not a status thing at all!
We've recently succumbed to the idea that buying a house simply isn't realistic on a single wage & one person on part-time, certainly not around here. I have a family to think about and renting is basically the only option, which will be easier since my recent payrise anyway.
The thought process behind the car is that I need something reliable but slightly bigger for the next 2-3 years. The HDi has been flawless, I've kept it over 2 years and it's only ever let me down once and that was a worn-out aux belt - the car still got me home without it!
But time moves on and collectively I've owned a 306 of some sort for probably 5 years! It's time for something more modern.
I'm looking at Civic 2.2 CDTi's and after a recent test drive I'm pretty hooked. I did want an e46 but they go for silly money for what they are.
