At least both are still a better option than having no car and using
public transport.

Sprog #2 has just bought an Aygo, it is tiny in the boot. Still I had

at least you get a boot with the Aygo, in the IQ you get the choice of
rear seats or a boot. with the seats down I couldn't put three sheets
of paper in the boot.

I'd have got one of the bikes out of the garage. public transport to
work means three busses and a train.

I use car servicing as an excuse to work from home, and get the garage
to collect and return the car.
