I'm curious, with the new tax laws coming into effect what size engine car do the majority of us drive?

Also, are the changes in fee's going to make you reconsider your engine size in the future? Personally I think the threshold is far, far too low. 1.6 and over? Gimme a break!

1.8 ....althought it is 1845cc so its technically a 1.9 - its a V6 aswelll, not that it matters in relation to tax though.

(I would'nt mind betting that the motor tax bands continue over 3 litres into infinity if the greens get thier way)
