Well, as many of you know, I had a C6 as company car from April 2010 to April 2013 and 69k miles. I enjoyed this excellent site, in particular the well attended, informative and friendly forum. Now, my pre and post C6 vehicles may seem an anathema to you, however, by way of conversation stimulation here are my last four company cars: Renault Grand Espace 2.2 RXE. Brilliant design, beautiful interior, flexible seating. Poor engine and gearbox. Volkswagen Caravelle 170 SE. Space, surprisingly fast, four chairs with armrests, amazing table on the seat rails deserves a design award, cache. Rattles, squeeks, incredibly unreliable. Citroen C6 - of course, a 'stop-gap' during the recession - cheap to buy. Beautiful design, anyone who rode in it loved it, particularly the rear heated seats. Catastrophic failure at 79k miles is a disgrace. And now: Hyundai i800 170 Auto. Beautifully built, no squeaks or rattles, attention to detail, something this big should not have this much power and torque. Seats lack flexibility of the Espace and Caravelle. |

Chevrons: forgive the ignorance, I'm sure I should recall the circumstances, and it may be painful to repeat, but exactly what was the "catastrophic failure at 85k"? | ||

Saltburn-by-the-Sea in the north-east; Once sleepy fishing cove developed by those pesky Victorians who built a hotel on the headland, a funicular railway down to a promenade and a pier. Well worth a visit and, typical of the north-east, the best fish and chips you can get. |
