We had a Ford Escort Estate on which the electrics would go with monotonous regularity.

We now have a Toyota Yaris (the tall, estate model, you know, a Grandad car!) in cherry red and it's lovely. So far, had it about 20 months and it's not had a mechanical thing wrong with it.

Even the stereo is fantastic. My only complaint, no sun roof, but hey, with electric windows, air con and a great stereo, who needs one?!
