someone was saying it takes 15 mins at least to warm up a diesel engine (by then I'm in work) also you burn more diesel sat in traffic!?!? I was told that having a 1.4 would be just as economical as a diesel for the amount of travelling i do, I hardly go on a motorway, just drive back and forth, monday to friday to work. I also don't need a big engined car because i never get to use the power, I was saying to Gav last week how I can't remember the last time I got to drive my car at some pace!

Ok you want something that is a petrol, cheap to run and insure. now if you stretch a bit more than 10k - say another grand you could get a brand new .... and with that comes 3 years without an mot warrenty and all that pallava.

anyway figures are here

88 bhp

111 mph

0-60 12.7

46mpg

grp 5 ins
