Sporty Diesel

[theshrew]

Its looking likely that im going to have to start doing a quiet a few extra miles each week to get to work ( if i get the job ) Sadly that means my low 20mpg petrol guzzler is going to have to go

I really really dont want to go turn into a dull old fecker over night.

So can you lot recomend me something thats on the sporty / hot hatch type of direction, at cars 5-6 years old.

Thanks for all the answers. I think this pretty much confirms my worse fears.

Every car I've had has been a hot hatch or something sports ish Celica Gt4 Subaru etc. I just don't like driving something more run of the mill spec. I really don't want to get rid of my Focus but the fuel bill would end up being crazy.

I suppose the best thing to do is to get out and drive some of these smokers and see what's what.

Other options are to keep the car

Buy a 2nd bike for the work run. That will be cost effective but bloody cold.
Buy a old banger after all it's only going to sit in what looks like a very busy car park getting the doors dinged etc. That would p1ss me right off on my pride and joy.

Sporty diesel? Doesn't exist I'm afraid.

By the way, cars don't make the person, maybe stop being so bothered what people think about you?

I don't see how me wanting a particular type of car makes me worried about what people think. Maybe it's just because that's what I like / want ?
