Things that make you question your own PHness

[legless]

I'm reasonably fortunate in that one of the perks of my job is that I get to change cars every 3 months, so I get to try out quite a few different motors.

Yesterday, I swapped out my B8 Audi S4 Avant for a diesel A6 allroad. Not even one of the more interesting ones - the base 204PS V6 TDI.

Having tooled around in it for a couple of days, I'm almost ashamed to say that I much prefer it to the S4. I've put the air suspension into 'comfort' mode and I'm just enjoying wafting around in it sedately while the world rushes around me.

I started to find the S4's grumbly exhaust and over-eager kickdown response, and the fact that it felt like it was constantly goading me into licence-losing speeds tiresome. It's just not fun on the daily commute.

I now feel distinctly non-PH, preferring a jacked-up diesel barge on roly-poly suspension to a quick AWD estate with a supercharged V6 petrol engine.

What's made you doubt your PHness recently?

I really, really like the design of new Kias.

[Ray Luxury-Yacht]

Being both 41 years old and now a skint mature student = driving to and from Uni in my re-mapped petrol turbo car at around 55mph to extract the maximum in fuel economy. And having competitions with myself to beat my best figure using the on-board computer.

Pretty anti - PH all round I guess...

[skyrover]

sometimes I get a bit weary pumping a hundred quids worth of petrol into the jeep, only to burn it all up at an average of 16mpg

But then I slap myself and carry on

[anomaly]

I tire of the drone of the exhaust of my 1M on the motorway...

Unless in a very light car, I find torque-lite engines that needs thrashing rather tiresome.

And I find auto wipers useful.

[TREMAiNE]

I'm starting to get pretty sick of 16mpg and often think that owning a Nissan Leaf is the way to go.

I really can't be bothered to get my car out of the garage and go for a drive anymore - rather take the winter shed.
What's wrong with me?

[smiffy180]

Every time I look at performance cars I compare them to a diesel - audi a8 4.2tdi for example and would rather drive that even though I'm desperate to try some silly sized engine petrol!

[Negative Creep]

One of the cars I most enjoyed owning was a Nissan Bluebird

[bristolracer]

I actually quite like volvos............

[texaxile]

Preferring to take the Shedscort to work instead of the Impreza or Colt Lancer turbo.....

I started reading a magazine that wasn't car related earlier. 4 pages in I caught myself, binned it and went in the garage to sniff the cars.

Close call.

There's nothing wrong with Plumpers Monthly - sometimes has a car related story in it.

[peterbredde]

I don't understand the whole custard thing

[slippery]

My wife isn't a super-model.

[speedtwelve]

I bought a complete poof's TVR with only the 4.0l V8 rather than a full-kamikaze 4.5 Cerbera with ejection seats. I'll try harder next time .

[DSLiverpool]

I've gone from AMG Mercs to a normal E500 and it's much preferable, not as frantic and I feel less pressure to 'drive' it.
Second car for kid transport is my first people carrier ever (but it is a 3.5 v6 one) - slightly PH ?
