Wow this could be one of those rare occasions I buy what car. I always thought of this as a consumer mag rather than an enthusiasts mag.  Maybe its a sign of getting older that the car I want is a what car fave!

I don't think I've bought a copy since I used it to choose the Peugeot, in 1997!

I was going to buy it again this time, because I found it useful just to run my finger down the column of a particular spec and pick out those cars that fitted the bill - that way I knew I'd got the lot and hadn't missed an obscure possibility.  Well, OK, it was the 0-60 rating I was running my finger down.  That's how I got the short list, the Peugeot and the Golf GTi (don't know which model it would have been in 1997).

I thought actually that there might be a web site that would let you enter your basic requirements (body style, number of doors, lower MPG limit, upper 0-60 limit or whatever), then present you with a list of cars fitting these specs, but I couldn't find anything.  Maybe I missed something?

So I was going to buy What Car and start running my fingers down columns again.  But then I got seduced by the Golf, and decided, this time you're having it!

Quite fancy buying it if it's going to confirm my prejudices though!
