I really want to know what it is and the fact the OP is now offline frustrates me.
Can anyone guess what it is?
Irritating?

Hi there.
Woa - this thread exploded. Sorry, I've just got back from lunch.
As one person guessed, its the new Fiesta. However its not the Econetic (which gets 86mpg extra urban!). Its just the 1.6TDCI.
Now I was expecting a negative reply, and the 'ignorance' comments. However I think this is a perfectly logical decision. Buying this car will be a far cheaper alternative to my current situation.
It will mean I know exactly what my outgoings regarding getting to work and back are for the next 3 or 4 years. No unexpected breakdowns, no hassle, no more getting my hands dirty.
As for the exact purpose. I do a 100 mile commute every day. So yes, an efficient diesel is the right option. As for the 'no small car can handle a motorway'. Well, this isn't a small car. Its almost exactly the same size as the original focus.

I understand fully what I'm doing. Yes drove a Fiat Coupe 20v turbo for 3 years. I also have my mad beetle (which will remain my 'toy'[TW]Fox;13099198 said:You wait, we'll get the 'AS LONG AS HE IS HAPPY WHAT DOES IT MATTER' crew in here eventually, thoroughly missing the point that its easy to be happy when you dont fully understand something
) However at the moment I need something ultra reliable and cost efficient for getting to work and back. And the bike is just more hassle than its worth. I've bought many second hand cars before. But there comes a time when, for once, you just want something off the top shelf.
