Well having down sized the car we now have to think about transporting 'Wigs' the dog. As much as we would love to allow him the same level of freedom he had in the Kia, the Cactus is not that accommodating, so a cage for the boot appears the be the answer..... ....Or is it. Thank you to the staff of Pets at Home and Halfords who both allowed us to 'try before we buy', something all retailers should consider, but most consider to be too much of a faff. -----------------------

After seven years with the Kia Sedona, time had come to replace it and we decided to go with something a little smaller, and more economical. So welcome to our new car a Citroen C4 Cactus (the one with the bumpy side panels), and the moment we picked it up from the garage. #Car
