I don't recall ever driving a Carlton but I have driven several Cavaliers and they've all seemed just fine.

If you're happy with it, and it's reliable, and continues to pass the MOT - why change it? A Carlton is a lot of (very comfortable) car for next to no money, and you don't have all the expense of a new car (finance, servicing etc).

Read this post I made about 2 years ago: //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14822

And certainly don't buy a Saxo!!!!

Whats the point of scrapping a perfectly good car.
