How long do you research a car before buying?

Ok sorry for a bit of a random thread but after sitting reading up on Octavia VRs' I started thinking how long before you actually plan to buy do you start reading up on your next purchase.

For me it will be a random cople of days where I think "yeah I'd really like a xxxxxxx for my next car" then I go off to parkers, autotrader etc etc. Then a couple of weeks later I'll do the same for another car... then a few weeks later I'd be back looking at the other one again :o

I'm about 60% sure this is what I'd like for my next car (which is good for me, I usually have about 3 possibles I like equally) and yet I don't plan (read- can't afford) to change my car until 2008 :o

So how is it for you in general? Just have a look, test drive then buy what you like? Or maybe narrow it down quite quickly then research like mad?

Really I thought you bought the first one you saw :confused: ;)

Hmmm... if Nationwide don't pull their finger out I could find myself A) Living with my parents for the next god knows how long, B) Be single and C) have a nice new car on the drive.

...actually that doesn't sound like such a bad thing :o
