got a focus estate for messing in and shifting anythin, but prefer the wifes micra 1.0cc for mooching around, apart from everyone thinking ur 85 and overtaking u. If we didn't have other cars I wouldn't entertain having a turbo'd ford

Recently changed the M3 for an old passat tdi, hardly a shitter though, tidy car.
Mainly just drive to work and back, so nice to make that cost as little as possible, and is comfy as anything.
Last tank was 700 miles, and 54mpg, so costs me half in fuel, a third the insurance, about a tenth in spares lol.
Do until I get a cossie for a weekend car, whenever that may be....

I got a little green clio 1.2 petrol, does 400 miles for £40, town driving cannot complain.

But my oldist has now given it a name "The little green shitter" which I think suits it well

Ive got an A4 Tdi Avante.

worth about a grand at most I should think, but TBH it seems like quite a nice car to me, so although it is a shitter, compared to my nova or rob's astra or the other old crap i drive it seems quite nice and modern

Is massively down to driving style I agree.
