    Want to keep the 1.8 sport and get a diesel for commuting. I would get a decent diesel but the miles I do its not worth it.

    having 2 cars rules! Makes you feel posh lmao

    At one time ellie and I had 5 cars in our care!

    how far you got to commute? bear in mind you need to do around 10k to break even with a petrol (cost to buy the car/extra fuel cost/etc)

    45 miles there and 45 miles back home. 5 if not 6 times a week.

    450 miles a week and roughly 21000miles per year! Not cheap! lmao Might be my right foot thats to blame though lmao
