Great thread, and quite interesting.

Citroen DS3 D-Sport was the daily driver for a while, but now it's back to one car - 2005 WRX which has become the daily driver and the weekend car in one.

Scoob is the second car, daily driver is currently a '07 Mondeo ST TDCI. Might get changed at some point for a fozzy or a legacy if i spot something that takes my fancy

Wife's car is the one i use for economy, Pug 308 1.6Hdi. Can do 60mpg on a run.

I had a GTE and then a GSi, the GTE was a quicker car due to not requiring any emission controls

One stunning bug eye, always wanted a Clio 182, drove a later one and was not sure?
Maybe you earlier ones are better?
Still the bug for me

There's some nice 2nd cars on here that you're all driving. My impreza gets used about once every 2 months now as its winter. Going from using my 306 daily to that, you tend to appreciate the power a lot more haha. Feels weird getting in the impreza and takes a while to get used to again. Just took it out for a wash and drive about, I'd forgotten how much fun they are! When I was using it daily I got used to it so quickly and the cost of doing 130 miles a day in it just annoyed me more than anything. Cheap old 306 all the way haha
