If you must, bank loan, but often i'd just say go for a car you can afford, build up the cash and then buy. It'll work out much much better in the long run and if something happens financially in the mean time, then you won't have really buggered things up!

I'm also the kind that always pays off a credit card in full each month. They are great, you can make money on them even. But the cripple you if you leave *ANY* money on them!

It's also probably why i'm happy with a PF 4.2 A8 (amongst others)
I share your sentiments! My credit card is a Santander 123 Card and they even allow a direct debit to be set up to pay it off every month. And they pay you every time you pay your mortgage (just finished it!), utility bills, etc. And I'm very happy with a D2 S8!
