Re: Daily drives
A 2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.5 dirty diesel. This is possibly the worst car I have owned. 40k miles, been into the dealership 7times for electrical faults. So a weekend car is a must for me.
If not driving either of those then the other halves 2015 Audi A1 Sport. Great little car

Re: Daily drives
My choice of daily weapon. D3, fairly nippy, great car to drive but it has let me down twice during the three year lease.
It goes back to Volvo in April and will be replaced by a Merc C Class Estate with lots of toys.

Re: Daily drives
We're badge snobs and run a 10 year old Skoda Octavia Diesel Estate as our family hack.
Third Skoda - last one went to 200K (and is still being used this one is on 120K and returns 60mpg on the A1 running from Cambridge to Newcastle (due to the 50mph limits) but will regularly return 55+mpg. 140bhp, cruise control, comfortable and most of all reliable (as they've all been).
As Marlon says - very important as it means we can run our Zed as a daily driver as well!

Re: Daily drives
I think all this did for me was generate interest.. im now interested to know why you posted a picture of your numberplate rather than the rest of the van (usually people are weirdly obsessed with hiding reg plates online)? What did you want to not advertise... your neighbours house, your offlice location, your van branding?Stuartt wrote: (sorry for pic quality, taken from across the road upstairs window zoomed in and cropped (so as not to advertise))
