Hi guys, first post on Pistonheads!

Need some advice from people who own Chimaeras...

I've always wanted one. I've been saving my pennies and I'm within 2 months of being able to start looking!

However for the next 18 months I'm going to be commuting 150-200 miles two days a week. I enjoy long journeys, and so far have been driving a little '14 plate 1.2 Polo, which is surprisingly comfy on the motorway.

My question is what a Chimaera will be like on this drive. I know it will cost more, and there are potentially reliability issues, but I'm interested in how comfortable and driveable they are on 200 mile journeys to and from work. Will I get home every night deaf and exhausted?

Steve

Amazed at the replies, thanks guys!

The drive is M25-M40, so the description of 'car park' is pretty accurate... I suppose I'll be getting a good left leg workout every week!

Based on your replies I'm sure it'll be a pleasure. It's only 2 days a week anyway, so even if it's not, it'll be worth it for the other 5 days.
