Hi All,

Finally migrated away from the van, Looking for something to get me around for 6 months until My new company car is sorted.

Remit should have been something small, cheap, and easy on the fuel.

So I, err, decided on a 6 pot 5er. In effect, my first car, having only had access to my mothers civic, and then a company van for 18 months or so. Like a kid at Christmas doesnt even cover it.. Manual box, and that noise, and I am smiling all the way to work. Only had one " How is your Dads car" type comment so far..

Any questions, or things I should know/ interesting tips, please let me know.

Thanks

Walsh

Almost 50k exclusively in a 1.9 cdti to 6000rpm on a 2.8 I6= Me actually giggling the first few times. Still makes me grin now, a few hundred miles in.

RWD handling to master yet..

Also, the key to all man maths is SWIMBO approval whistle buying a car for 800 quid that looks like that is helpful too.
