Sticking with a fun petrol, despite mega miles. Who's with me?

[TroubledSoul]

Just a bit of fun really, but since selling my 535d and getting back into an Impreza, albeit a WRX as I wanted a Wagon, I've done 10k. In 6 months.

So, it looks like I really should be driving a diesel from a cost perspective. Unfortunately, having tried that, I just can't see myself ever being able to go back.

Anybody else saying to hell with the costs and ploughing on regardless? I did almost convince myself that a nice diesel was a great car, but I never quite got there. I've now got the modifying/refreshing bug again and will soon fit some big Brembos to the car and refresh the suspension. Happy days!

Phew! I don't so much mind being mad if I'm not alone

I know there are more fun cars than an old Impreza of course, but in a relatively speaking sense, it's fantastic as a daily.

Well.... Drove home from Edinburgh today and had a great blast along the A68 and A697 before reaching the monotony of the A1.

Would I go back to the 535d for that journey, being that the boring motorway leg was the longer part of the journey?

Not a chance.

A68 in an Impreza? Last time I was up there I was in a poxy Audi 80tdi that was overheating.

I envy you

Yeah it was great. I had no idea of the delights ahead

Actually, it was one of those super rare drives where you encounter a few like minded people and so queues of traffic are gradually dispatched rather than becoming an obstruction. Made it all the more enjoyable.
