The point about the cost for a rarely used car is a good one, especially once you consider the servicing etc which I hadn’t factored in.
My clio is only 6 years old but has done 100k miles on a 1.2 so I don’t expect it to last forever, hence not wanting to get roofboxes or trailers for it as I will not be getting such a small car again with the kids getting older. Also, Mrs-g needs to learn to drive so the clio will at some point fairly soon be sacrificed to the gearbox destroying task of her practicing.
I think with the possibility of there being 2 drivers in the house, and with the kids getting bigger and wanting a bit more comfort on the long journeys I can justify the expense of an additional car, but yes it will be petrol.
You don’t want the hassle and expense of getting a roof box

…so you’re going to buy an extra car instead? 😀
If you just want a bigger car, why don’t you trade in the Clio?
