My warranty runs out in 6 months' time so that is affecting my decision as well...

hinckley - I was interested to read your comments. I'd actually been considering buying a second car - was looking at a BMW 5 series estate because I play a lot of gigs and need space to transport big bass amps and so on. Anyway, I was talked out of this by loads of people saying it was madness to own two cars (my girlfriend doesn't drive and I cycle to work!)
