About a month ago my car got stolen (i made a post on here asking about what sort of car i should go for next)

My commute a few months ago was about 24 miles a day, so about 5000 a year or so . At the moment, my commute is about 6 miles a day in total, so literally about 1200 a year, either way, its significantly less, as i no longer drive 'to work', i drive to the station and then get a train.

The issue i'm having is, well, is there a POINT in me getting another high performance car? I had RTI gap insurance (Dont ever let anyone tell you its a rip off, it really isnt... best £349 i ever spent) on my last car, and my finances have improved quite a bit over the years, so my car fund (as i said in my post) is around 16k, and i still want a hot hatch type of car.

How many of you guys have 'nice' cars that don't see that many miles from you commute?? btw, i don't judge, when i say 'nice' cars, thats obviously quite relative to you, but i'm not talking about a £200 banger that you use for short trips, i mean people that have ONE car thats relatively high performance? Im still at a point where i want something with a lot of power, but im struggling with the idea of buying another car for 17k that i will literally, never drive to work
