The feel of a car.
Going up to Gatwick Airport with our friends Faye and David, it was better to take their car because it is bigger. Women like to take a lot of luggage on holiday. To make things easier for David, I drove from Reading Services to Gatwick Airport on the way up and Membury Services to Cardiff on the way back. I have never driven a Hyundai Matrix before and what surprised me was that the feel was exactly the same as our Citroen C3. Okay, the Hyundai Matrix is a bigger car, the indicator switch is on the right rather than the left but the feel was exactly the same. This really surprised me as every other car that I have driven or owned has always felt different from all the other cars. In the day job we have 19, 49 seater coaches, Iveco, Daf, Scania and Volvo. All the coaches have 49 seats, are 12 metres long, 2.55 metres wide and about 3.65 metres tall. Only the engine and chassis are different but each marque of coach feels totally different to all the other coaches.
So if Faye and David wish to change their car to a smaller and cheaper to run car then they should seriously consider a Citroen C3 as it will feel and drive exactly the same as their old car.
