2014 focus, no choice with 700 miles a week! Falls in the 0 tax bracket

Hardly ever use my blob eye to be honest maybe once a month if that

Nice as something to keep in the garage and mess around with every now and then though

Alfa 147 JTDm.

It looks fine to attend meetings with and is good on fuel (average 51mpg). It's also fairly comfortable and quiet for long journeys I make each week.

Decent little car for very little money.

I have 2005 Leon FR TDi as a 1st car and a Sapphire Cossy as a 3rd (although only done about 50 miles in it 3 years of ownership). Need an Impreza for a 2nd car.
