£5k on petrol + insurance + road tax.

This has come down significantly recently  :smiley:

I forgot all about road tax...that's another 140squid!

5k on petrol? Oh my god...I feel sorry for you  :sad:

I spend that on diesel a year plus £1300 on the severn brigade tolls
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

I might moan about my cars, but they've cost a lot less than what most of the cars listed so far have  :grin: Not had any reason to moan about the Passat thus far and doubt I would, I just don't think of the £50 I use on my weekly commute of 150 miles  :laugh:
Passat B5.5 2.3 V5 170, with all the extras.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
