Finally after enough thought I just went ahead and took up Renault on their car squishy deal. So this is what I bought. It is a Clio with a cool blue/grey colour and 5d instead of the 3d in this pic. Since I wanted an automatic I got their 'Exception' level which essentially is loaded with every option you can get except navigation. So the LM-fälgar are included too. Nice nice. The engine is a 1.6L with a nice 112hp but not terribly good fuel efficiency but it will be fun anyway.

My first experience with a Clio was my halkbana training and it is a peppy little thing compared to the S40 I was training with at the driving school. So I am quite confident that this was a good choice. And the price is unbeatable with their 30000kr discount!

But now the bad news...I won't get it until December. The Japanese factory that sends them electronics for the car is in that earthquake zone so they haven't caught up yet. For my own finances this is good. And locking the interest rate now is also good considering the Americans and their effect on us. But that leaves me without a car for CX season. I can keep the one I have until delivery but it needs inspection at the end of September and I don't want to spend anything on it. And this is why I was reluctant to squish at all.
