Your Next Car ?

[Derkie54]

What are you all considering for you next car ?

Will you get another standard ICE or a Hybrid Honda or are you thinking of changing to a different make ?

I have my current car on a 0% PCP - I have the final balloon payment sitting in my ISA so simply paying off the loan and keeping the car is option 1.

I doubt I'll do that though. I'd like to go full EV but a lot will depend on where we are with the charging network 2 years from now - I would need to see a vast improvement on what we've got now. If I don't go full EV I will almost certainly get the new Jazz or, possibly, a Toyota Corolla Hybrid.

We run two cars in our household, both ICE. I have no plans to replace them with anything other than ICE when the time comes.

I'm seriously considering the MK4 Jazz for September.

All reliant on the test drive, when available, and the p/x deal offered.

It's a good question. I think a lot depends upon how technology progresses over the next few years, but if I was to hazard a guess, I would think that we may be running a straight ICE and an electric.

I would be very wary of ploughing cash into a new ICE vehicle at this point, so any ICE replacement would have to be cost effective over the short-medium term. I can only see residuals going one way.

Can't afford the new Jazz unfortunately but definitely the all new Dacia Sandero auto at £12700 definitely look very interesting for a poor guy like me!

I haven't bought a "new" car for over 30 years. Too rich for me!

I have had Jazzes for the past 10 years as my tuition cars as a driving instructor, however retirement allows me to go a bit wild so choice A is an Audi A5 Cabriolet . . . . . . . if I fit in it, and it fits in my garage.

UPDATE
After test driving the A5 Cabriolet I went for a VW T-Roc Cabriolet

My next car and first-ever "new" car will be an MG5, hopefully, an Exclusive.



I plan to stick the Jazz in the corner of the drive and renovate it (note I did not say restore). I'll plan to keep it MOTd so that I can dig it out in an emergency.

I only bought my Crosstar last July so I'm not yet giving much thought to the successor. At the moment I'm most likely to have another hybrid but I'd like a bigger battery with the capability for cheap home charging for local trips (the proportion of these is likely to increase with age) but without any range anxiety issues or expensive charging which can be the downside of longer trips with EVs.  However,a lot could change in the next 5 years when the service plan I bought with the car expires. Will, for example, gov't encourage people to buy EVs by substantially increasing fuel duty or will thee be sufficient competition among EV charging places to ensure adequate capacity and competitive pricing?

[IanG]

I suspect at some point, when the take up of electric cars is significant and the fuel duty received by the government declines with falling petrol sales, we’ll end up with some form of cost per mile charging model, utilising an electronic mileage recording device. Perhaps this will replace the road tax and fuel duty revenue. Unsure how this would apply to the remaining ICE users: Perhaps the fuel duty is increased further to encourage motorists to move towards EV as the ICE cut of date gets ever nearer.

Come 2030+ how available will petrol be ?

Are you speaking like Yoda?

I've got no intention of changing car in the near future.
Hopefully the Jazz has a good few years to run.
When the rust bug eventually claims it, I expect my next vehicle to be electric.
There will be a great many changes before 2030 and I expect range and availability of recharging to be much improved, but even if not I think by then an EV would satisfy all my travel needs.
