No Vehicluar Progression

Right so the Fiat Garage wasted our time by letting us book a test drive allowing us to walk there and then telling us that car was on a corporate training day so it wasn't there, no apology nothing. Nat still test drove the fiat 500, well designed neat small car, too small we decided and too slow (1.4 ~ 10.5s).

Next up was the Suzuki Swift, lovely little GLX with lots of extras out at the front but an automatic gearbox, the Sport was a lot better but had some major issues with build quality (you can see the airbag holes through the dashboard) so that one is scrubbed to.
