This time last year, I was preparing to snaffle up a bargain at the Autofest. Of course, my distinct lack of planning meant I had no idea what car to buy, and, by the time I'd worked this out, the Autofest was long gone, like an Audi driver who has just chased you out the fast lane.

I did eventually decide what car to get and ordered it at the beginning of summer. I narrowed my options down, test drove them all, but, finally, the decision came down to what I could fit into my incredibly small garage. That, plus the fact only the VW salesman was willing to put my bulging stash of cash above the need to take a cigarette break.
