We fianlly decided on our new car, after many visits to car yards and test drives we have ordered a Mazda BT50. With all the optional extras we still come under budget and the salesman was not at all pushy! Now we just have to wait till April/May for delivery I am very excited and can't wait to get behind the wheel
Cheers Ellen

We have new BT50 too and find it a great vehicle at a very reasonable price. Will be interested to see what you think of it's performance.

ours is boring old white ha ha we were impatient and didn't want to wait for one to be ordered for us so bought off the lot. Oh well it matches our new caravan.
Can't wait to get out and give it a test with the van soon.
