Plus the IIRC the last gen Civic Hybrid that was on sale in the UK was removed roughly the same time as the insight II was released.... odd

I'm totally with you Arra on the size thing. I mean My polo is roomy compared to some of the cars I've owned and carried my family (2kids+missus) and assorted crap around in, It even doubles up as a camper when I do Enduro racing!

Put simply the 'new' mini was classed a huge and bulbous when many reviewing magazines put it next to its predecessor. I remember with great fondness driving my mates old Mini traveller(Wagon) with 3 other people in it, a fiesta gearbox and some camping stuff up the motorway from donnington to carlisle...... would have been boring in something as BIG as the polo!
