Thanks for the link.

The Daimler 250 looks great. The robbers in "The Sweeney" always seemed to drive those.

this place was recommended to me, they will export, do everything for you, link is on the site.

not seen the mini mentioned, i know it would have to be a used one, but it may be just the ticket and i'd go for used anyway. if not lots of nice little cars on here to give you some ideas. like the 2002 boxster in silver for 23k!!

should be some good deals on the golf now BTW, starting to see the brand new model on the roads around here.

Only prob is it's in Ontario, but silver, auto, good price. Not that hard to get to BC actually.

So, what car should we consider? Any experiences/advice would be great.
Has anyone used one of those independent agents?
I've only ever bought new cars in the UK and the States, is there anything I should know (apart from the high prices) that's unique to Canada?

Kids?
Mazda 5

No Kids?
Mazda 3

Crossover?
Ford Escape (Based on a Mazda)

Next.;)



agree with this, we've just bought one. :thumbsup:
Kia Canada have some great deals on 2010 models at the moment too.
We've had a Kia since we got here and the warranty etc. is a great bonus.

They look like a bit of a toy through, don't they?

What is the interior like? The interior quality of Kia's I've driven have been pretty poor. We looked at a Sportage when we bought last and the interior was full of nasty light grey cheap plastic. Went for a CR-V instead.
