I had 4 S2000's in total and still miss it for lots of reasons. I daily an E92 325d now though, had to make the choice as my commute was 34 miles each way until recently. Where in Wales are you by the way? I'm relocating to South Wales... Four! Love/hate relationship? I've only driven two (2001 AP1 and my 2004 facelift) and they were surprisingly different for what's supposedly the same car. The facelift feels like it has so much more certainty, especially the rear end. It's just a better car than the AP1. I now work from home so the S2000 is kind of moot but it's such a good car that I refuse to part with it... I'm in the Valleys (born and bred) at the moment but will be moving closer to Cardiff/Newport once the boss lady and I can agree on where. Where are you relocating?

Popular Post Aaron Posted November 6, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2019 Update on my daily endeavours: I now have a Civic Type R in championship white. Needed something with more doors and practicality yet still fun to drive - this fitted the job description perfectly. Yes, it's also ludicrously outrageous and that's why I like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tozerman Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 My daily chugger is a 2011 Honda CRZ. Brilliant little car, £20 Road tax, Cheap to run with 50+mpg. Nippy ish performance, but quite refined on a long run. Would love to do a European road trip in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenfourate Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Looking to get a new daily: thinking Audi A3 2.0 petrol. Anyone got any experience ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 CRZ is quite an interesting car. Does it have a go kart-like feel? The missus was recently looking for a new car and we settled on a Golf GTi. The A3 equivalent was worse on fuel, slower, had more slushie suspension and the interior wasn't all that much better. It would depend how much more you prefer the exterior of the car, I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The market value they command compared to similar cars / specs and their new price is amazing imo. And the amount you see with mega-mileage on is incredible. Looking at a car a few years old there’s barely any low miles one around. People must use them for everything (They are a classless car for any occasion imo ? **In very much a good way) and hang on to them ‘forever’...... Cheers for your thoughts.

Founder Beanoir™ Posted November 15, 2019 Founder Share Posted November 15, 2019 My daily, another German wagon.. M40i version of the X3, doesn't hang about to be fair, but just a fast SUV. You can fit lots of bricks, bags of cement and 2.4m fence posts in it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite softly sprung so rides well but there is not a lot of body roll. Back seat is next to useless to be honest 😁 What kind of muppet has two 2 seater cars 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo31291 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) Been driving a beaten down 2003 Honda Jazz quite a bit recently. Cheap and cheerful motoring can be fun knowing that if something breaks it's no biggie. Edited December 10, 2019 by Leo31291 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But have decided for the foreseeable to continue to bang around in my £800 daily and save my cash. I'm anal by nature - and look after anything i own over and above. But there is still something completely liberating about popping into a busy Tesco's car-park on the way home from work and not worrying for one single second about where, what or when your parked next to etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Just took a leap of faith into the EV world and changing out my daily. Ordered a Jaguar I pace. Should be interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 It’s a base model in Fujia white. Run our funds to add any goodies. Ordered through my company with the BIK rules on ev’s should be £400 better off in tax and then £100 a month better off on fuel. will arrive in April/ early May. Tried chasing one in my Cayman and it blew me away. 4.5 sec to 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlosRich Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Currently running a Mazda CX-5 petrol auto, a dads SUV. That's why I need the Cayman! TBF the CX-5 is a good quiet cruiser, good value and very reliable, and has all the latest safety tech, active cruise control etc. Used to have a W212 - E Class - E350 CDi - V6 diesel bad boy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
