Anyone being hit with a significant price hike?

£245 -> £260 per year for me. Would have been £215 per year if the car had been a couple of years older.

£435 to £460

The one thing that's likely to be more expensive for the mx5.... £215 compared to my old £130. boo. More than worth it for having the top down, mind

In a rather odd way it wouldn't be nice if our pay all went up as well, actually.

Seems I did well to order my tax disc online ahead of time.
Mine's band L and I paid £425 for an Apr 2011-Mar 2012 tax disc, looks like if I was late renewing it would be an additional £20.
