We've only had Fords so can't really comment on the Mitsubishi's. We love our Fords :-) One point though you might want to consider if buying new is that Ford offer great deals on servicing, 3 years FOC, 5 years warrently on all major parts & the first year insurance FOC. Won the deal in our book! Then again I'm not sure if Mitsubishi offer similar. Good luck with whatever you choose :-)

and....you could slip in an insulated bags with your lovely home prepared dinner lol....and your own wine of course...and you dont have to wait for a cab...just walk home to your hotel. Makes sense to me...:) Home prepared dinner??? I reckon we'd splash out on room service :-) Wine of course would come from MMI ;-) x <em>edited by Loopy Lotti on 01/01/2011</em>

has anyone checked out how much a hotel room would be say split amonst 6 friends? having nothing to do at the moment, I checked lol.....you can get a hotel room, within walking distance of Kalifa for around 700dhm a night, toss in a hidabed and bring some sleeping bags and it would work lol... edited by SueB on 01/01/2011 That's a heck of a lot cheaper than our 2 fancy dress costumes + bottle of fizz to take to the party + taxi both ways!!!! Hmmmmm NYE 2012 .... bring it on at the Burj!! :-)

The best Idea if you are going to do New Years at Burj Kalifa? Rent a suite in the hotel with a few friends, have dinner brought up and sit on your balcony watching the fireworks, then you can either stay up until 4a.m. and go home or just curl up and sleep. edited by SueB on 01/01/2011 *like* Would need a lottery win or rich friends tho :-) x

Didn't see any Dubai fireworks although got caught in the traffic chaos on the way to a private party .......2hrs from Trade Centre to the ranches!!! Grrrr. BUT, a lovely finish to the eve getting home at 3.45am, opening a bottle of fizz (how on earth did we manage that??!), switching on the TV / PC and watching London bringing in the new year with a spectacular firework display over The Thames ...... ahhhhhhh. Happy New Year EW'ers!!! Hoping 2011 is a great year for you all. LL x <em>edited by Loopy Lotti on 01/01/2011</em>
