Title: Took wifey's captur over to Liverpool today
Post by: STEMO on 21 March 2016, 17:36:23
It's a nippy little thing. About 160 miles of actual motorway (if you can call it that these days) and 30 miles of A/B roads, averaged 61.1mpg  :y
It's not the most planted of cars, though. I've driven better cornering hovercraft.  ;D

You get what you pay for, I suppose. Let's say I'm really pleased with it considering we only paid £12,900 for it new. I wouldn't pay the £17,000 odd list price. As a daily commuter for the wife, it's ideal and, I must say, it coped admirably at motorway speeds, much better acceleration than my asthmatic 1.4 astra.

Count ya pennies? After spending 12 grand  ::)  ;D

Spend £12k get 60mpg or spend £2k and get 25mpg.  :)

Or LPG you £2k car and get ~55mpg cost on the Wallet.  :D

Wifey likes to arrive at work actually driving her car, not with it on the back of a truck leaving a trail of rust behind. She's funny like that.

Good philosophy.

Zero road tax and good MPG usually go hand in hand with a dull drive.

Life is short.

I reckon that STMO chappie would be far less belligerent if he had something powerful and throbbing to enjoy. :)

Yes. I'm very impressed.

I think a dull economical car is exactly what I need. I shall be sensible from now on. :)

Thank you for helping me see the error of my ways. :)
