500 miles a week - 50/50 motorway to poor road-surface
Discussion
Evening all
Following the success of the last time I posted here (thanks for the beige Nissan Almera suggestions!) I feel like I can put my name out there and offer your services on behalf of a family member!
All kidding aside, relative is starting a new job - roughly 500 miles a week and due to traffic, 50% of it will be motorways (evening commute back home goes against the traffic on the motorway so nice & quiet) but the 50% getting to work is across a particularly long stretch of poorly maintained road - lots of potholes, semi-rural and tonnes of speed humps (presumably it was a short-cut when it was a decent stretch of road). Due to the nature of his job, he is on call 24/7 and needs to be able to get to work regardless of weather. Relatively narrow roads I think too, although not 100% certain.
I could suggest happily, based on the millions of similar threads, of a motor-capable commuter car. But the above scenario is not something that I can relate to, so wouldn't know where to start. Budget is £10k roughly, depends on whether he sells his other cars. Surprisingly doesn't want to buy my Almera.. haha
